FAIR-WEATHER FRIEND - Allegra Broughton & Sam Page   ©2017
 
Johnny put the lantern down Jenny let the fire go out
Now I’m lost and I can’t find My way out of this dark
Won’t somebody shine A  light or a sign
On this heart of mine
 
You pushed my face in the dirt You robbed me even of my shirt
But I got up and I stood my ground When all the chips were down
So don’t hand me that line and tell me it’s fine Stick it where the sub don’t shine
 
You try to put the pieces back
After the mirror has fallen and cracked
Seven long years of bad, bad luck
Now I’m climbing out and I’m stepping up again
 
Farewell Fair-weather Friend x 3
 
The fires of Hell will burn After the worm has turned
Sweet embrace or a Judas kiss How can I resist
To taste the fruit of the vine Drink the holiest wine
And never look behind
 
Farewell Fair-weather Friend   x3
 
You try to put the pieces back
After the mirror has fallen and cracked
Seven long years of bad, bad luck
Now I’m climbing out and I’m stepping up again
 
 
Farewell Fair-weather Friend   Fx3
So here’s to all the broken hearts Fractured by Cupid’s darts
Some have it coming and some do not But everyone gets shot
So just bear it in mind If life is unkind
That the mills do grind
 
Farewell Fair-weather Friend x3
