Friends

I had a friend who had friends by a river
They too had friends who had friends of their own
All seated round takin' port after dinner,
Port that was bought by the friends that were known


No one ever seems to care
Just as long as they were there
Friends beside you
Friends to guide you
Friends beside you, everywhere


There's nothing new, it's all there to remind you
It's no different anyway you recall
You only wait around and float on every corner
And know you're in luck
'Cause you know them more


No one ever seems to care
Just as long as you are there

My Mother used to warn me against sitting on cold walls. She said it would give me piles.
Piles of what- I have no idea?
