long goodbye - greg lake lyrics
[verse 1]
you know i’ve driven all night
but the landscape screams your name
you know i’ve driven through h*ll
where your face spreads like a flame
you know the air vents rusted
and the light bulbs blown
and you’re playing tycoon on the telephone
while i’m playing for time in the midnight hour alone
[verse 2]
i see you’re riding through life
on a storm you can’t dismount
you know the number of times
that you hurt me, i just lost count
i know your smiles so warm
but you’re causing grief
’cause you’ve taken my tongue
in your flashing t**th
and you ruined my soul
‘causе your love’s still out of reach
[chorus]
you nevеr say the things that you feel
i need to work out which emotion is real
no point in staying when you won’t try
if you don’t want me, i gotta know why
your love just lingers in a long goodbye
[verse 3]
you know i’ve driven all night
just to see your silhouette
you know i’ve driven all night
but i don’t have one regret
i saw the front doors open, a projector gleam
they were playing our past on a naked beam
you were playing back scenes of your triumphs on the screen
[chorus]
you never say the things that you feel
i need to work out which emotion is real
no point in staying when you won’t try
if you don’t want me, i gotta know why
your love just lingers in a long goodbye
[verse 4]
you know i’ve driven all night
as the highway melts with fire
you know i’m driving on ice
as the elements conspire
you know i’ve seen the future
but it’s far too soon
you were dancing alone on our honeymoon
and i was dripping with fear
in the scent of your perfume
[outro]
you know i’ve driven all night
but my love for you won’t die
you know i’m livin’ the h*ll
of a lover’s long goodbye
