Lyrics Call You Friend - Oysterband

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
