Long Goodbye

just a terminal case
like a fish on a hook unbaited
you're welcome inside
my armies are marching
i can't save you
who could save you
i can see that from your wounds you're open wide
its coming clear
now that you're leaving
you forgot the people that you left behind

this is the long long goodbye
try to keep smiling as these tears break from my eyes
this is the way you used to feel
guess ill be trading them for something much more real
much more real
caught in a terrible wind
with a kick in the teeth you blow me in
out of my eyes
never been quite sure what you're losing
but you know you're losing
so i'll burn these bridges from the other side
in the end its all illusion
you forgot the poeple that you've left behind

this is the long long goodbye
try to keep smiling as these tears break from my eyes
this is the way you used to feel
guess ill be trading them for something much more real
much more real

quite sure what you're losing
but you know you're losing
i can see that from your wound you're open wide
its coming clear
now that i'm leaving
i forgot the lover that i left behind

and this is the long long goodbye
try to keep smiling as these tears break from my eyes
this is the way you used to feel
guess ill be trading them for something much more real
guess ill be trading them for something much more real
much more real
