Lyrics

THIS LONG GOODBYE

She lost my trail
Since she turned her back on me
A thousand days before.
I'd always hoped
She'd be getting here some day
She'd be unmistakebly back to stay.

And the days keep rushing by
But there was something
Worth remembering.
Getting lost under a starless sky
There'd still something
To keep my eye
Throughout this long goodbye.

All through the years
I wonder how she felt
That day we went apart.
But silence spread it's coat
Over the wall she built so strong
Over questions of what went wrong.

And the days keep rushing by
But there was something
Worth remembering.
Getting lost under a starless sky
There'd still something
To keep my eye
Throughout this long goodbye.
I'm afraid I'm running out of days
Was there something to remember
She'll disappear into the starless sky
I'll have lost something
To keep my eye
After this long goodbye.
