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.
I smile to crack this angry face
The endless days the endless ways
She says she fills up the empty space
I wait in vain
Fade away away away
Fade away away away
I fade away away away
No you never know what you've got until its gone (its wasted, its wasted)
And when its gone well you know it's gone forever
When you take the long goodbye
No one here ever says they all move on (its wasted, its wasted)
And when we're gone well you know we're gone forever
When you take the long goodbye
And as the flower slowly dies
We find a way other wastes of time
The question is whats left to try
I watch the rain
Fade away away away
Fade away away away
I fade away away away
No you never know what you've got until its gone (its wasted, its wasted)
And when its gone well you know it's gone forever
When you take the long goodbye
No one here ever says they all move on (its wasted, its wasted)
And when we're gone well you know we're gone forever
When you take the long goodbye
No you never know what you've got until its gone (its wasted, its wasted)
And when its gone well you know it's gone forever
When you take the long goodbye
No one here ever says they all move on (its wasted, its wasted)
And when we're gone well you know we're gone forever
When you take the long goodbye....
