- Goodnight Old Friend Lyrics / with translationsFarewell old friend
Leave me now be gone
My soul is weak
My mind is never strong
Watch my hands at night
And see the way they're shaking
See the endless road
See the way it's taking
And it's still the same old night
And it still just don't seem right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Writing down my life
On endless scraps of paper
Years of hanging round
A life of wasted labour
And it's still the same old night
And somehow it don't feel right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Goodnight old friend
I'll see you once again
The dawn will come
And haunt me once again
Watch my life unfold
And see the shape it's taking
Watch my fingers write
And see the way they're shaking
And it's still the same old night
And somehow it don't feel right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Goodnight old friend
I'll see you once again
The dawn will come
And haunt us once again
And it's still the same old night
And it's still the same old night
And it's still the same old night
Ah, it's still the same old night
Leave me now be gone
My soul is weak
My mind is never strong
Watch my hands at night
And see the way they're shaking
See the endless road
See the way it's taking
And it's still the same old night
And it still just don't seem right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Writing down my life
On endless scraps of paper
Years of hanging round
A life of wasted labour
And it's still the same old night
And somehow it don't feel right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Goodnight old friend
The dawn will come
And haunt me once again
Watch my life unfold
And see the shape it's taking
Watch my fingers write
And see the way they're shaking
And it's still the same old night
And somehow it don't feel right
And this darkness blinds my eyes
Goodnight old friend
I'll see you once again
The dawn will come
And haunt us once again
And it's still the same old night
And it's still the same old night
And it's still the same old night
Ah, it's still the same old night
