by the window there`s a photograph
faded in the sun
with the echo of our silent laugh
and a love we`d just begun
then a thousand nights roll quicky past
and we slowy come undone in
the long goodbye
too scared to leave afraid to cry
and so we live our separate lives
one long goodbye
refusing always to admit love burns
than dies realize
it`s a long goodbye
there are feelings that can still suvive
of loves yesterday
in the half truths and the small white lies
and emotions that we can`t disguise
despite the games we play
how can we make the move
we know we`ve got to make?
how do we speak
when hearts will break?
the long goodbye
to scared to leave, afaid to cry
and so we live our separate lives
one long goodbye
refusing always to admit love burns
than dies realize
it`s a long goodbye
can`t recall the single day the future dies
so we kiss and say
our long goodbye
through desperate delays
god knows we`ve tried
and then realized
it`s a long goodbye
