Friends Lyrics

Marc Almond Friends

So good to watch my friends dreaming their lives away
So good to watch my friends dreaming all through the day
If I could take them with me, well, you know I would
If I could show them all the things that I've seen, I wish I could
So sad to watch my friends growing older
So sad to watch my friends growing colder
If I could give them all some sunshine, you know I would
If I could take them all to Monterrey, I wish I could
So sad to watch my friends as they watch me
So sad to hear them talking about the things that used to be
One day perhaps I will buy myself a big boat
And take all my friends away
Maybe one day I will buy myself an island
And there with my friends you know I'll stay.
So long, old buddies, I'm going away
So long, old buddies, I'm leaving today
But don't forget all the things that we will do
And I know you'll spare a thought for me
I'll say a prayer for you
