☆ Camel – Long Goodbyes ( lyrics 1984) v2

Down by the lake
A warm afternoon
Breezes carry
children’s balloons
Once upon a time
Not long ago,
She lived in a house
by the grove
And she recalls the day,
when she left home
Long goodbyes make me so sad
I have to leave right now
And though I hate to go
I know it’s for the better
Long goodbyes make me so sad
Forgive my leaving now
You know I’ll miss you so
And days we spent together

Long in the day
Moon on the rise
She sighs with a smile
in her eyes
In the park,
it’s late after all
She sits and stares
at the wall
And she recalls the day,
when she left home
Long goodbyes make me so sad
I have to leave right now
And though I hate to go
I know it’s for the better
Long goodbyes make me so sad
Forgive my leaving now
You know I’ll miss you so
And days we spent together
