This Train Album: Mimes from the Old West Track: Goodbye
Goodbye Lyrics
(Words: Mark and Beaker/ Music: Mark)
We're stuck between heaven and earth. We reckon the old man dead and he shows up at our doorstep the very next day. One of these days...
(Chorus) How long does it take? How far does it go? And when we get there, will we even know it? From a whisper to a scream From a bad day to a dream This is the longest goodbye I've ever seen
One day I will step off of the edge of the earth And one day I will leave this all behind Tomorrow may be better, but the next day could get worse And one day I will be set free from time I don't know how to fly, and I insist One day I will fling myself at the ground and miss
(Chorus) How long does it take? How far does it go? And when we get there, will we even know it? From a whisper to a scream From a bad day to a dream This is the longest goodbye I've ever seen
The mansion on the hill, it may be ready for me now But don't give me the keys until it's time Well you know me, I'd probably just lose them anyhow Could you just let me in when I arrive? I don't have that much faith, yet I believe One day love will blind my eyes until I finally see As the choir invisible comes into view I see with my eyes what my heart already knew And just as a joke, I'll sing "It Had To Be You" And I won't care if nobody laughs
(Chorus) How long does it take? How far does it go? And when we get there, will we even know it? From a whisper to a scream From a bad day to a dream This is the longest goodbye I've ever seen
