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
