"Fair Weather Friend" lyrics

I called your name but you did not answer
I felt the rain but not a word from you
And I hung my head in shame
What did I do again? What did I do?
When out of nowhere that sun began to shine
And suddenly there you were that day
And to the wind began to blow
The way you'd go no one would know if you would wait
So I hid myself in a hole in the ground and I waited for the storm to pass
It was a lonely time but I'm stronger now
Standing on my own at last

Fly away fair weather friend
Don't come back to play again
I am stronger in the end
Don't need you by my side
You have taught me to be true when skies are gray and skies are blue
Only just not true to you
Go ahead, go on and fly

There are things better off not said
And there's a time we have to let it go
And everyone could stand to lose selfish pride and better choose
How well I know
I'm not here to be throwing a stone
I just hoped that you would care
When the chips were down and the road was long
I hoped that you'd be there

So fly away fair weather friend
Don't come back to me again
I am stronger in the end
Don't need you by my side
You have taught me to be true when skies are gray and skies are blue
Only just not true to you
Go ahead, go on and fly

This is not about forgiveness
I have no desire to see you cry
I just don't need to relive this
So I'll say goodbye
Go ahead and fly

Fly away fair weather friend
Don't come back to me again
I am stronger in the end
I don't need you by my side
You have taught me to be true when skies are gray and skies are blue
Only just not true to you
Go ahead, go on and fly
Into someone else's sun
Hurry now before the storm comes rolling in

Fly away fair weather friend
Don't come back to play again
Fly away fair weather friend
Don't come back to me again
Fly away fair weather friend
Don't come back to me again
Fly away
