gary brooker - the long goodbye lyrics

(brooker / fisher / reid)
i know i've done my best
but that's no consolation
i s'pose i should have guessed
when i saw the invitation
you told me love was blind
but you were only joking
i know you've changed your mind
but i still keep on hoping.
head held high
eyes on the sky
i know i've got to be strong
if i see you again
it will be as a friend
with time for a long goodbye
you know i felt so bad
when i left you at the station
it was the first time i
had felt such desolation
it's been a long, log time
and i still can't forget you
but my friends all say
that maybe i don't want to.
head held high
eyes on the sky
i know i've got to be strong
if i see you again
it will be as a friend
with time for a long goodbye
