[Verse 1]
The sun on the hills
Your car rounds the bend
The tail-lights fade
The evening descends
I'll keep on waving
Til I'm sure you're gone
Til I'm sure that I was
The last thing you saw
(chorus)
So long, bye-bye
So long, so long
Be brave, be strong
Until then, so long
(Verse 2)
The water recedes, I'm on my own
Pictures of you, pictures of home
Somebody leaves, someone arrives
Something is gone, and I'm still alive
I don't understand, got no idea why
But no God I know would say not to try
So I'll keep on waving
Til I'm sure you're gone
Til I'm sure that I was
The last thing you saw
(chorus)
So long, bye-bye
So long, so long
Be brave, be strong
Until then...
So long, bye-bye
So long, so long
Be brave, be strong
Until then, until then, until then...
So long
