Part i: the long goodbye
In days gone by, when I was young
I'd go anywhere life could lead me
But now as the clock so slowly ticks by
I have no new horizons to greet me
There's still so much to understand
My journey has come to an end
I am ready to board the train at the station
Drying the tears that I've cried
I am ready to leave for my destination
Ready to leave life behind
Now it's time for the long goodbye
I must leave for the long goodbye
And when I look back on what I've achieved
There are doubts and there's not much to please me
I'm just a man with a lust for life
And needing somebody who needs me
There's still so much to understand
My journey has come to an end
I am ready to board the train at the station
Drying the tears that I've cried
I am ready to leave for my destination
Ready to leave life behind
Now it's time for the long goodbye
I must leave for the long goodbye
I must leave for the long goodbye
Part ii: the final curtain falls
My life's been full
My life's been grand
But through it all
I've still remained
A doubtful, wondering man
You gotta take me as I am
And try to comprehend
And calm my restless heart
I lived my life
To its full extent
Now in the winter of my years
I'm so close to the end
Rethinking all I've done
And seeing what I've become
I need to calm my restless heart
Now the final curtain falls
I feel my work is almost done
I leave my legacy to some
The final curtain falls
The final curtain falls
I must be strong and leave with grace
Let new generations take my place
The final curtain falls
The curtain falls
Now the final curtain falls
I feel my work is almost done
I leave my legacy to some
The final curtain falls
The final curtain falls
I know I must be strong and leave with grace
Let new generations take my place
The final curtain falls
