I can't say don't go but i can't say go
I can't say stay we both know
We both know you're going & we both know why
But i can't say don't go i can't say goodbye

I can't say hold me i wish i could
I'm feeling so cold & you're looking so good
But it aint to be you got a good man
Ok god we're gonna follow your plan

I can't say come to me but i can't say leave
One thing i can say i can say believe
Believe i'll love you until the end
Long as i'm living you got a real good friend

I can't say i'm happy but i aint too blue
I know i'm lucky to have a friend like you
We'll share some laughter on that you can depend
Long as i'm living you got a real good friend

 'Try uploading it',? Eh? What? How? I didn't even know this was possible - or is it a wind up?

Love the big guy. Surprised to see only one song from my favorite GB album, "Slant 6 Mind." "Loneliness House" is a great tune - any chance of squeezing that in sometime?

Is this a thinly veiled pedantic jab at the grammatical error in the song title?  ;)

 
You mean it should be "Real Well Friend"?

Thought it was Billy-Joe Phelps for a second, then I realised I could understand the lyrics and the voice was deeper Hence GB.

Quite Knoplfer-esque - similar to the number on Brothers In Arms where Knopfler sings sadly about splitting up. Smooth, sad, yet optimistic. Bitter-sweet. 7 from the Nottingham jury.

What a great message, seems so 21st Century, men and women go their own ways, walk to our own beat, no answers, no committments to forever, whatever is more the norm today, but it's ok, life's still good.
