The Long Goodbye

A smile could crack this angry face The endless days, the endless wait As tension fills up the empty space I wait in vain and fade away, away, away Fade away, away, away I fade away, away, away No you never know what you got until it's gone (It's wasted, it's wasted) And when it's gone then you know it's gone forever When you take the long goodbye No-one here ever stays they all move on (It's wasted, it's wasted) And when we're gone then you know we're gone forever When you take the long goodbye And as the flowers slowly die We find new ways of wasting time The question is what's left to try I watch the rain and fade away, away, away Fade away, away, away I fade away, away, away No you never know what you got until it's gone (It's wasted, it's wasted) And when it's gone then you know it's gone forever When you take the long goodbye No-one here ever stays they all move on (It's wasted, it's wasted) And when we're gone then you know we're gone forever When you take the long goodbye No you never know what you got until it's gone (It's wasted, it's wasted) And when it's gone then you know it's gone forever When you take the long goodbye No-one here ever stays they all move on (It's wasted, it's wasted) And when we're gone then you know we're gone forever When you take the long goodbye
