The Long Goodbye Lyrics

I give you everything
'Til songs of freedom come and take me for a little ride
Walkin' by in my lonely dreams
You say you feel forgotten well I'm sorry I haven't waken

And in these times I write about forgiveness in the sand
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay...

And there's a song I wrote for those who would like to sing
But I still play alone on these old heartstrings
'Cause how we tried and tried to make that perfect harmony
Wasn't it a shame, we never heard the same?

That's why in these times I write about forgiveness in the sand
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay...

So when those birds fly south in the winter I have to go
Baby please don't cry it's the end of our Long Goodbye
('Cause all I have left are these precious wings
And if I stay behind, true love I may never find)

And in these times I write about forgiveness in the sand
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay
It's alright, it's OK, it's here to stay...

It's here to stay

I gave you everything

I Know What It's Like

I give you everything 
'Til songs of freedom come and take me for a little ride 
Walkin' by in my lonely dreams 
You say you feel forgotten well I'm sorry I haven't waken

And in these times I write about forgiveness in the sand 
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay...

And there's a song I wrote for those who would like to sing 
But I still play alone on these old heartstrings 
'Cause how we tried and tried to make that perfect harmony 
Wasn't it a shame, we never heard the same?

That's why in these times I write about forgiveness in the sand 
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay...

So when those birds fly south in the winter I have to go 
Baby please don't cry it's the end of our Long Goodbye 
('Cause all I have left are these precious wings 
And if I stay behind, true love I may never find)

And in these times I write about forgiveness in the sand 
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay 
It's alright, it's OK, it's here to stay...

It's here to stay

I gave you everything

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
