Drinking a Familiar ale As I listen to a tale Of a friendship that was won and lost A long time ago And I just can't pretend That it doesn't hurt at all You'll never see the Day That I walk away I'll never turn my back on you No fear good friends Brothers till the end That's what we said so long ago No fear good friends Brothers till the end Means more to me than you will ever know Do you ever think back To the nights we swore it would last You turned your back you lost your way Forever that's what we said Those dreams we had some are coming true But I've done it all in spite of you Till the end that's what we said But where are you now No fear good friends Brothers till the end That's what we said so long ago No fear good friends Brothers till the end Means more to me than you will ever know Call it fate call it what you like But you stole away like a thief in the night Once I called you my brother And I just can't forgive I blame you for the damage done I never thought you'd turn and run As though you never knew me And you never will again
