Long Goodbye

So many songs in my head about looking back to the good old days
Instead of looking forward and giving thanks for the glory of today
When the lights go down and wake up the town
No one answers no one calls
It's alright by you
Been a long day through
Just waiting for the fall
Another door slams shut in your face
Another mistake I can't erase
I'll get mine and you'll get yours
In this beautiful fucked up world of ours

When it comes when it comes
Have eyes but cannot see the light
When it comes when it comes it's alright

More stars in the sky then the eye can see
And when the lights hits they'll no longer be
Over dreamed and unredeemed
Forever yeah eternity
A last and final reckoning
An answer to all questioning
In liberty I'd like to see
The shape of all finality

When it comes when it comes
Have eyes but cannot see the light
When it comes when it comes it's alright

When all's said and done and the nightime comes I'll be glad to see it go
The losing runs and the modern huns and the evil we have known
A fuse will burn and the tide will turn and the ships sail home from sea
When the lights go down and wake up the town
No one answers no one calls
And I don't mind cause it's all behind
Just watching for the fall
In rigid grid a life to live
But what I wouldn't give tonight
For one more glance and one more dance
And one more chance to get it right

When it comes when it comes
We'll raise our glasses high
When it comes when it comes
There'll be no long goodbye
When it comes when it comes
Have eyes and now can see the light
When it comes when it comes it's alright
