A 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.
In these days of mine for keeps I'm trying to hold on
When suddenly you're all out of reach & everything goes
Wrong
What we say & what we do are entirely different things
Meaningless straight through the roof it's not how it should be
Easy like a bird I ride the breeze my mind is falling
You're so ordinary, you're my sanctuary in the morning darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart & a long
Goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in
This crazy
Land of milk & honey life is just an illusion
I just don't know what to believe in, if the truth be known
Suffering from soul fatigue, weathering the storm
What we say & what we do are entirely different things
The whisperings dissolve the room well it's not how it should be
Swaying like a tree I feel the sky somebody calling
You're so ordinary, be my sanctuary in the morning darling
New sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a dumb
Goodbye
Then you go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction
In this
Crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion darling
Easy like a bird I ride the breeze my mind is falling
You're so ordinary, be my sanctuary in the morning darling
New sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a long
Goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in
This crazy
Mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion
You're so ordinary, sanctuary, be my one in the morning darling
The new sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a dumb
Goodbye
Then you go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction
In this
Crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion
You're so ordinary, sanctuary, be my light in the morning
Darling
The new sensation, love vibrations, heart to heart & a long
Goodbye
Then you go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction
In this
Crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion darling
