Spent most of my youth Out hobo cruising And all I got for proof Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes So long babe, I got the flashback blues So goodbye nonbeliever Don't you know that I hate to leave here While window shopping through the past I

This is the long goodbye Somebody tell me why Two lovers in love can't make it Just what kinda love keeps breaking a heart No matter how hard I try I always make you cry Come on, baby, it's over let's face it All that's happening here is a long goodbye

The day that heaven had gone away There'll be no more tears to cry There'll be no long goodbyes This road without end So far away Unfaithful skies Above a faithless day This handful of gold

So why do I feel so sad? Things must change So it shouldn't be so bad By now I should know that in time Friends we've been for so long Now true colors are showing Makes me wanna cry, oh yes it does 'Cause I have to say goodbye How can I adjust to the way

What have we to show? Barren feelings and dust for crow We can't ever know When it's time to go That's the way to see the end Glowing out along the river bend It's not goodbye my only friend Yesterday started over again

Think of me, yeah that was me, I was that passer by I've been and now I've gone 'Cause you see me, I got my magic pie An extraordinary guy Can never have an ordinary day He might live a long goodbye But that is not for me to say I dig his friends, I dig

I gotta long long way to go Before I can say goodbye to you Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew Then every time I turn around And you're nowhere to be found Oh, I gotta long long way I know You held my hand and then you slipped away

L-O-V-E was all for you If you didn't say your goodbyes Trying to figure out How this is real 'Cause they're never coming back down They belong to the stars in the clouds Goodbyes, good times Don't worry, love will bear it through 'Cause you're never

Say goodbye, my friend Here's your promised end Be a part of the grand parade Along we're driven On and on, it's a grand parade We're one, we're so sorry to say It's all the same, you will see On this grand parade

Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma' Girl, it's getting hotter I can't take much more But not for long And I might say goodbye I'm here like for one night So we don't gotta waste time I know that you feel it
