The Long Goodbye

[Verse 1]
I give you everything
Till songs of freedom come and take me for a little ride
Walkin' by in my lonely dreams
You say you feel forgotten, well, I'm sorry I haven't waken

[Chorus]
And in these times, I
Write about forgiveness in the sand
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay

[Verse 2]
And there's a song I wrote for those who would like to sing
But I still play alone on these old heartstrings
'Cause how we tried and tried to make that perfect harmony
Wasn't it a shame, we never heard the same

[Chorus]
That's why in these times, I
Write about forgiveness in the sand
And I hope and I pray that it's here to stay

[Bridge]
So when those birds fly south in the winter, I have to go
Baby, please don't cry
It's the end of our long goodbye

[Chorus]
And in these times, I
Write about forgiveness in the sand
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay
It's alright, it's okay, it's here to stay

[Outro]
I give you everything
And I gave you everything
