lyrics

FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS

IF IT MUST JUST BE RIGHT
FOR YOUR FRIENDS TO STOP BY
YOU’RE MOST LIKELY DEALING
WITH THE FAIR WEATHER KIND

AND IF THE PHONE STOPS RINGING
WHEN THE GOING GETS ROUGH
THEN YOUR PALS MUST BE BUSY
MIXING IN WITH THE CROWD

IT’S FUNNY HOW IT GOES
WHEN YOU CAN NO LONGER GIVE
THOSE FRIENDS WHO YOU TRUSTED
HOW FAST THEY VANISH

AND FOR THOSE WHO YOU HELPED
STAND ON THEIR OWN TWO FEET
AIN’T IT A CRYING DISGRACE
WHEN THEY CAN’T FIND THE TIME TO MEET

FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS
WHERE YOU’RE GOING
THE STORM IS COMING
AND YOU ARE SO NOT READY

IT’S A SAD IRONY
WHEN STRANGERS FILL THE SPOT
OF FRIENDS WHO’VE GONE MISSING
I GUESS FRIENDS THEY WERE NOT

AND WHEN YOU HEAR IN THE NEWS
WHAT THEY’VE BEEN UP TO
A SENSE OF CLEAR AWARENESS
SHOWS THE PATH ON WHAT TO DO

FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS
WHERE YOU’RE GOING
THE STORM IS COMING
AND YOU ARE SO NOT READY
