Lyrics
The Long Goodbye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The silent fall of evening snow
Another thing you can't control
Does it chill or warm you soul tonight
You've become a mystery
Will I earn your honesty
I'll never know if we agree
If you're not here
And we travel separate roads
And we carry different loads
And in the end we stay or go
The long goodbye continues on
Through fog and rain and far beyond
You stay awhile and then you're gone again
I look into your restless eyes
You turn away it's no surprise
I wonder if it's even wise but I'm still here
