A Long Goodbye

Wake me up
Before you leave
This house it sleeps so quietly
But I still hear you call for me
And I'm awake tonight
I miss the way it was before
When you came rushing through the door
I'd found some peace of mind, and more
Now I'm awake tonight

Too quick to chase
Too slow to grasp
Too dark to see
Too bright to last
Too far to stray away from home
Tell me where does a shooting star go
No time to talk or say goodbye
No long delay, no alibi
I guess I'll meet you by the gates
But until then I'll have to wait
Until then I'll have to wait

All the old haunts, they haunt me now
Can you hear me crying out
I feel as though I let you down
And I'm awake tonight
And if there was somewhere above
And you could hear me calling up
I'd thank you, for all the love
And I could sleep tonight

Too quick to chase
Too slow to grasp
Too dark to see
Too bright to last
Too far to stray away from home
Tell me where does a shooting star go
No time to talk or say goodbye
No long delay, no alibi
I guess I'll meet you by the gates
But until then I'll have to wait
Until then I'll have to wait

So goodbye my friend
Until we meet again

The wolf sings to the moon with a howling cry
And a songbird sings a long goodbye
For the ones we love and leave behind
There's an ocean of tears for you
I've tasted the sweet thrill of victory
And crashed to my knees at the hands of defeat
But nothing cut me quite as deep
As the silence does tonight

Too quick to chase
Too slow to grasp
Too dark to see
Too bright to last
Too far to stray away from home
Tell me where does a shooting star go
No time to talk or say goodbye
No long delay, no alibi
I guess I'll meet you by the gates
But until then I'll have to wait
Until then I'll have to wait
