Lyrics The Goodbye Look - Donald Fagen
The
surf
was
easy
on
the
day
I
came
to
stay
On
this
quiet
island
in
the
bay
I
remember
a
line
of
women
all
in
white
The
laughter
and
the
steel
bands
at
night
All
the
Americans
are
gone
exept
for
two
The
embassy's
been
hard
to
reach
There's
been
talk,
and
lately,
a
bit
of
action
after
dark
Behind
the
big
casino
on
the
beach
The
rules
are
changed
It's
not
the
same
It's
all
new
players
in
a
whole
new
ball
game
Last
night,
I
dreamed
of
an
old
lover
dressed
in
gray
I've
had
this
fever
now
since
yesterday
Wake
up
darling,
they're
knocking
the
The
colonel's
standing
in
the
sun
With
his
stupid
face,
the
glasses,
and
the
gun
I
know
what
happens
I
read
the
book
I
believe
I
just
got
the
goodbye
look
(I
believe
I
just
got
the
goodbye
look)
I
believe
I
just
got
the
goodbye
(I
believe
I
just
got
the
goodbye
look)
Won't
you
pour
me
a
Cuban
breeze,
Gretchen?
The
rules
are
changed
It's
not
the
same
It's
all
new
players
in
a
whole
new
ball
game
I
know
a
fellow
with
a
motor
launch
for
hire
A
skinny
man
with
two-tone
shoes
'Cause
tonight,
they're
arranging
a
small
reception
just
for
me
Behind
the
big
casino
by
the
sea
I
know
what
happens
I
read
the
book
I
believe
I
just
got
the
goodbye
look
(I
believe
I
just
got
the
goodbye
look)
I
believe
I
just
got
the
goodbye
(I
believe
I
just
got
the
goodbye
look)
