Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Is there anyone out there?
Or am I walkin' alone?
When I turned around and found that you'd gone before
The first rain could fall
[Verse 2]
It seems every single time I was bleeding
Broken promises that never came true
Well it ain't so long before the dawn
When the sun is gone and so are
Well, so are you
[Verse 3]
So what's it gonna take
To get you back in bed?
Gossips, frauds and snakes
They're just our best fairweather friends (Fairweather friends)
Fairweather friends (Fairweather friends)
[Verse 4]
One day when we're far away
From everything that hurts
Drink wine and screw is all we'll do
Every day, yeah
[Verse 5]
So, what's it gonna take?
To get you back in bed?
Gossips, frauds and snakes
They're just our best fairweather friends (Fairweather friends)
You know the hour's late (You're in the blue sky)
Don't let 'em in your head (Fairweather friends)
I'm gonna pray for rain again and again
Fairweather friends (Fairweather friends)
Fairweather, I don't give a shit
