so long
You can call me sentimental
Say I’m searching for the sound
Of the last note that kept ringing
With no one around
Or the kindness never spoken
At the point of no return
You just keep living until you learn
CHORUS
So long, so long
Raise a glass or two for me
And all that was not meant to be
You can say I never noticed
When you turned away from me
I was gambling my way down
To immortality
And the phone that kept on ringing
Only number that I knew
Said just to give it a day or two
Now the western sky is burning
Nowhere left for me to ride
Singing songs out of the window
To the falling night
Keep the melody unbroken
Hold the time now, if you can
It’s like a rope running through your hands
