Just Good Friends (2007 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill
Written by：Peter Hammill
Drawing back the curtains
Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon
Here's that special silence
Just before you walk out of the hotel room
Each time we're so close I assume
That we'll never be again
Oh how long must we pretend
A casual affair is all that you can spare
From your emotional change
A calendar of meetings
Strangers on the street
The best we ever arrange
Now I just can't stand all the pain
All the constant make and mend
Oh how long can we pretend
That we're just good friends
I gave you my devotion
Hiding nothing up my sleeve
If I walked clean out of your life
Would you even notice me leave
So much tangled up emotion
Should I stay or should I go
If I walked clean out of your life
How long would it take you know
Are we such good friends
Oh how sordid this has become
As the means approach the end
And how long can we pretend
I gave you my devotion
Hiding nothing up my sleeve
If I walked clean out of your life
Would you even notice me leave
So much tangled up emotion
Should I stay or should I go
If I walked clean out of your life
How long would it take you know
If I walked clean out of your life
How long would it take you know
That we're still good friends
