Here I am, my face in front of another voluminous Omnibus Agreement with the words NATIONAL STEEL /GLOBAL ISPAT in bold letters (yada yada yada) when I heard this song being played in Lyn's I-POD. I liked this song immediately when I first heard it over the radio a long time ago and as the familiar words washed over the room, I stopped reading and sang along with Tod Rungren.
We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends?
We had something to learn
Now its time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know its all gone.
Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends?
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends?
It's a strange, sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together.
We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad, old song.
Can we still be friends?
Can we still get together sometimes?
You know that life will still go on.
