Long Goodbyes Lyrics by Camel

Lunar Sea: An Anthology 1973–1985

1984

Down by the lake
A warm afternoon breezes carry children's balloons
Once upon a time not long ago
She lived in a house by the grove
And she recalls the day when she left home

Long good-byes make me so sad
I have to leave right now
And though I hate to go
I know it's for the better

Long good-byes make me so sad
Forgive my leaving now
You know I'll miss you so
And days we spent together

Long in the day, moon on the rise
She sighs with a smile in her eyes
In the park it's late after all
She sits and stares at the wall
And she recalls the day when she left home

Long good-byes make me so sad
I have to leave right now
And though I hate to go
I know it's for the better

Long good-byes make me so sad
Forgive my leaving now
You know I'll miss you so
And days we spent together
