Long Goodbye

[Verse 1]
Days, they will turn like they've been trained
They won't loiter in the frame
And in the closing scene
You’ll watch me steadily
And carry me away

You are the picture of my love
You’re the dream I keep above
When I’m called to sleep
Out of my reverie
You're what the dream is woven of

[Chorus]
As I said a long goodbye
As I said a long goodbye
As I said a long goodbye

[Verse 2]
You are the shade that calms my fear
You’re the rainbow in my tear
When I’m straight and cold
You're the one I want to hold
You're my belvedere

There is a world inside your eyes
I belong there all the time
I see the future there, and it hurts me everywhere
To say a long goodbye

[Chorus]
A word never felt so small
Didn’t make a sound at all
As I said a long goodbye
Could you even make it out?
Was it happening out loud?
As I said a long goodbye
I said a long goodbye
