lyrics

A Fair-weather Friend is what I am
Or so I'm told when your heart is cold
I miss the signs the silent cry
I care for you, your love is mine

But I'm slow to react, hesitant in fact
And it's not because I don't sympathise
There's just a chance that you were faking
And I've been there before
Cursed by a wolf in sheep's clothing

A Fair-weather Friend you said to me
Because I didn't jump, I didn't believe
But I had my reasons, terms of reference
Turned away and stared into the distance

There was no explanation, no instant retraction
Just a subdued mood, an uncomfortable moment,
When you caught me unawares
And the words hung in the air
Like the cry of a wolf in sheep's clothing

I'm a Fair-weather Friend or so I'm told
No understanding of the milk of human kindness
I heard the sentence like a judgement
Stepped away preparing for repentance

There was just a chance, a gamblers hand
That you were faking, unwise though it is,
Well I sympathise but realise
That I've learned to ignore
The cry of a wolf in sheep's clothing
