A Long Goodbye

about

Another song from the 20+year old file is about an old girlfriend of mine. We'd not long split up - amicably - and she used to come over and we'd enjoy the familiar company, a cup of tea, a chat and a hug. Moving on but mentally not quite moved on yet. We still chat on Facebook :-)

lyrics

A Long Goodbye
Well here we are again,
With the sound of natural laughter,
About the same old things,
We know we're more than friends,
We're subtly attracted by a strange power.
You've been trying to leave now for over an hour.
But it's

chorus
A long goodbye.
A long goodbye,
A warm embrace and a lingering eye.
Long goodbye

There seems so much to say,
To draw each other closer,
You're afraid to cross the line.
Afraid to pull away.
You stretch and say that this time you have got to go.
But a look between us means that we both know,
That it's

chorus

We know it's time to be moving on,
Part of us is already gone.
But there's something about a familiar smile.
That makes me want to linger a while.

Maybe you wont go.
You're weighing up your two minds.
Coz it's come to the poin tin the evening...
When time runs slow.
A tremble of the fingers and a whisper in the night.
And a candle that burns long til the morning light.
And a

chorus
