STOCKYARD STOICS LYRICS - Long Goodbye

STOCKYARD STOICS LYRICS

"Long Goodbye"

So many songs in my head about looking back to the good old days

Instead of looking forward and giving thanks for the glory of today

When the lights go down and wake up the town

No one answers no one calls

It's alright by you

Been a long day through

Just waiting for the fall

Another door slams shut in your face

Another mistake I can't erase

I'll get mine and you'll get yours

In this beautiful fucked up world of ours



When it comes when it comes

Have eyes but cannot see the light

When it comes when it comes it's alright



More stars in the sky then the eye can see

And when the lights hits they'll no longer be

Over dreamed and unredeemed

Forever yeah eternity

A last and final reckoning

An answer to all questioning

In liberty I'd like to see

The shape of all finality



When it comes when it comes

Have eyes but cannot see the light

When it comes when it comes it's alright



When all's said and done and the nightime comes I'll be glad to see it go

The losing runs and the modern huns and the evil we have known

A fuse will burn and the tide will turn and the ships sail home from sea

When the lights go down and wake up the town

No one answers no one calls

And I don't mind cause it's all behind

Just watching for the fall

In rigid grid a life to live

But what I wouldn't give tonight

For one more glance and one more dance

And one more chance to get it right



When it comes when it comes

We'll raise our glasses high

When it comes when it comes

There'll be no long goodbye

When it comes when it comes

Have eyes and now can see the light

When it comes when it comes it's alright
