Camel - Long Goodbyes lyrics

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 afterall, she sits and stares at the wall. And she recalls the day, when she left home... (repeat chorus)
