Lyrics
THE LONG GOODBYE
LYRICS AND MUSIC: TOM WRIGHT
KEY: A
CHORUS* SO LONG FOR NOW MY DEAR
SO LONG FOR NOW MY LOVE
VERSE SO MANY YEARS SINCE
I?VE SEEN THIS PLACE, I
CAN STILL REMEMBER
THE NAMES & FACES, WEIRD
HOW CAN I BATTLE
THE HUMAN RACE PERSIST
THE DEGREDATION
OF OTHERS HAPPINESS*
VERSE TOO MANY BILLBOARDS PEERING IN
SOMEBODY?S MARK UPON MY WALL
I HEAR THE NEIGHBORS SIN
HAS MY PRIVACY BEEN PAUSED
HOW MANY DAYS
OOH... HOW MANY YEARS
IT SEEMS SUCH A SHAME
THAT I CANNOT FIND BEER*
THEY WANT ME TO CHANGE
THEY WANT MY HEART TO FEAR
I CAN?T REARRANGE
ALL THE CRAZINESS I HEAR*
