Bolland & Bolland - Suite - The Long Goodbye / The Final Curtain lyrics

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 someone 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 know 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
