Paul Kelly - Where Were You When I Needed You lyrics

Where were you when I needed you Where were you in the falling rain? I looked around but you could not be found You'll never let me down again You broke my heart when I needed it most Things 'round here won't be the same I was on my knees, getting up by degrees You'll never let me down again Only a fool could call you a friend O, don't pretend everything's ok now Don't come up and say "Hello, how are you, it's been a while!" I don't want to hear your voice buzzing in my ear I can't stand to see you smile Where were you when others hung tough? Where were you when I called your name? You turned your face, you muddied my name all over the place You'll never let me down again Only a fool would call you a friend Where were you when I needed you? Couldn't you stand the pain? You drank my good wine back in those fat times You'll never let me down again Only a fool could call you a friend I won't be fooled again
