Lyrics
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 have seen my future die
My whole past as well
That hurricane she knew my name
And tonight just feels like hell
(chorus)
You left me
wanting
so much more
WHEN YOUR LOVE HAS GONE AWAY
IT'S A LONG GOODBYE
Sometimes I see you dancing there
In the fading light
But when I look again you've gone
The poppies all run wild
CHORUS
I screamed with the wind
I howled at the rain
I even prayed
But nothing I do and nothing I say
Will bring you back again
A thousand questions never asked
I'm left wondering why
So many secrets never shared
Guess I'll keep them 'til I die
