Lyrics
Friends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I had a friend who had friends by a river
They too had friends who had friends of their own
All seated round takin' port after dinner,
Port that was bought by the friends that were known
No one ever seems to care
Just as long as they were there
Friends beside you
Friends to guide you
Friends beside you, everywhere
There's nothing new, it's all there to remind you
It's no different anyway you recall
You only wait around and float on every corner
And know you're in luck
'Cause you know them more
No one ever seems to care
Just as long as you are there
Friends beside you ( beside you)
There to guide you (to guide you)
Friends beside you (beside you)
Everywhere (everywhere)
We all have friends who have friends by a river
We too have friends who have friends of their own
All seated round drinkin' port after dinner
Port that is bought by the friends for their own
No one ever seems to care
Just as long as you are there
Friends beside you
Friends to guide you
Friends beside you to stay
Friends beside you (you need)
Friends to guide you (you know you need)
Friends beside you (you need)
Friends to guide you (you really need)
Friends beside you (you need)
Friends to guide you (you need)
Friends beside.#
