Long Goodbye Lyrics

Long Goodbye

We said goodbye now a few times before

We said our goodbyes now but we cant get out the door

All our loves were strangers

Our sweethearts had soured through

We said goodbye to all them but we never leave the room

Are we waiting on some company

Cant we make it on our own

Someone's calling in a broken voice over the phone

Wondering if you have forgotten them

They've been waiting in the car

Five more minutes and they're leaving you right where you are

We've said it all now and we've dried our eyes

We've felt it all now but we still cant sympathize

Are we missing some simple thing

We never knew about before

Something we don't know the name of but its calling once more

Wondering if you feel alright today

Or if you feel anything at all

Calling to you like a prisoner taping on the wall

There's nothing happening, you're just imagining things

There's nothing happening, just actors looking for a scene

You don't know what it will bring

Do we just need a little company while we're feeling so alone

Someone waiting up to meet us when we stumble back home

Asking what was it you did today

Asking where and when and why

Someone sharing every sweet hello and long goodbye

Goodbye
