A Long Goodbye Lyrics

Was it really only yesterday

That you left in such a rush?

Was there really nothing more to say

Like to you it never meant too much?

Well I guess that I knew from the start

That you and I were not to last

But before I got to brace my heart

Our tomorrows were put in the past

In your haste, did you think what you wrecked?

All this waste: bitterness burns in the

Ruins that were respect

In London town, there is no ease

The vagrant memory stings

And angels who make amputees had

Best beware their wings

"Tell us why, we have to know"

The orphaned feelings cry

"Yours was not a short hello

More a long, long, long goodbye."

There's no way to look inside your head,

And find out where the truth is hid

There was sweetness in the things you said,

There was savagery in what you did

Was it really such a waste of time

To finish what we had begun?

But you hung up on the heart's hot line

With a conversation half undone

Dreams that soar, dazzle the Reaper's eye

They're no more, but we never said, we

Never have said goodbye

In London town, there is no ease

The vagrant memory stings

And angels who make amputees had

Best beware their wings

"Tell us why, we have to know"

The orphaned feelings cry

"Yours was not a short hello

More a long, long, long goodbye."

In London town, there is no ease

The vagrant memory stings

And angels who make amputees had

Best beware their wings

"Tell us why, we have to know"

The orphaned feelings cry

"Yours was not a short hello

More a long, long, long goodbye."

We never said, we never have said goodbye
