Listen & view Oysterband - Call You Friend lyrics & tabs

when I talk dumb and wield the knife
lose the plot and rail at life
you defuse the bomb and end the strife
that's why I call you friend
you tell me home truths to my face
run alongside me in the race
staying with me pace for pace
that's why I call you friend
we've been up and couldn't get down
kicked the hell out of this town
we let the world know we're around
that's why I call you friend
so many times we've disagreed
don't count the cost there's a greater need
we sit and watch each other bleed
that's why I call you friend
so for being there with that sure touch
that cussedness that means so much
those injuries you helped to mend
that's why I call you friend
words are thrown and fists can fly
I throw my hands up at the sky
we've been the distance, you and I
that's why I call you...
I hate it when we disagree
times when there's no remedy
it's always been just you and me
there's a common ground we both defend
a promise we can always mend
fighting till the stars descend
that's why I call you friend
we've been up and couldn't get down
kicked the hell out of this town
we let the world know we're around
that's why I call you friend
