I called your name but you did not answer I felt the rain but not a word from you And I hung my head in shame What did I do again? What did I do? When out of nowhere that sun began to shine And suddenly there you were that day And to the wind began to blow The way you’d go no one would know if you would wait So I hid myself in a hole in the ground and I waited for the storm to pass It was a lonely time but I’m stronger now Standing on my own at last
Fly away fair weather friend Don’t come back to play again I am stronger in the end Don’t need you by my side You have taught me to be true when skies are gray and skies are blue Only just not true to you Go ahead, go on and fly
There are things better off not said And there’s a time we have to let it go And everyone could stand to lose selfish pride and better choose How well I know I’m not here to be throwing a stone I just hoped that you would care When the chips were down and the road was long I hoped that you’d be there
So fly away fair weather friend Don’t come back to me again I am stronger in the end Don’t need you by my side You have taught me to be true when skies are gray and skies are blue Only just not true to you Go ahead, go on and fly
This is not about forgiveness I have no desire to see you cry I just don’t need to relive this So I’ll say goodbye Go ahead and fly
Fly away fair weather friend Don’t come back to me again I am stronger in the end I don’t need you by my side You have taught me to be true when skies are gray and skies are blue Only just not true to you Go ahead, go on and fly Into someone else’s sun Hurry now before the storm comes rolling in
Fly away fair weather friend Don’t come back to play again Fly away fair weather friend Don’t come back to me again Fly away fair weather friend Don’t come back to me again Fly away
