"Foul Weather Friend" lyrics

"Foul Weather Friend"

Never alone in the sunshine
Always beloved in the good times
But who sticks around on a cloudy day
When all of your friends have gone away?
I woudn't just say it to be cruel
No, I don't take you for no fool
But leaves start falling and times get tough
And where do you go when the fame and stuff
Just ain't enough?

Your foul weather friend
Yeah, on me you can depend
All the love of a summer's day
Soon fades out when they've run away
But here I am

I don't mind when you're sad, no
I do wonder if you think I mad, though
Can't stay away when the shit hits the fan
Gotta be there doing all I can
'Cause what else use am I anyway?
You're picking up pieces, gives me a reason to stay
And no one else can see your pain
Like I can

Your foul weather friend
On me you can depend
All the love of a summer's day
Soon fades out when they've run away
But here I am

Holding out
Standing strong
All along
A steady hand
A pair of arms
A place to land

And all the ones say they're here to stay
Soon show up when it's time to play
One dark cloud and they run away
Won't be seen 'til a brighter day
One sniff of rain and they're gone again
Only back when you're on the mend
But in the meantime, it's us my friend
My friend

Just until the sun shines
Just until the good times
