Ray Thomas - Friends lyrics

A long time ago when we met you were lonely

I helped you forget life was solely only a wish to survive

And blood flows much thicker than wine

Friends who give up their time to be near you

Sing you a song just to cheer you

You will be rich in the end

Brother now you've got a friend

Life hurries by in the wink of an eye

Almost without meaning

Days speeding past like the wind hard to grasp

No wonder you're bleeding

Friendship is needed today

Or tomorrow is empty and we need each other please stay

For your only hope is together

We'll live in much calmer weather

And we'll make a beautiful blend

Brother now you've got a friend

Friends who give up their time to be near you

Sing you their songs just to cheer you

You will be rich in the end

Brother now you've got a friend
