Lyrics The Long Goodbye - Little River Band

Won't somebody show me
Shelter from the storm
Everything is cold now
All at once was warm

One of us is crumbling
While the other one is strong
I don't need no psychic hotline
To see what's going on

I can tell where we went wrong

Come lay down beside me
While I sleep
Leave your heart a mystery

Spare me all of your lies
The small town smiles
This could take a while
(This could take a while)
This could take a while
The long goodbye

There's no explaining
What's inside your head
Trenches and barbed-wire
Down the middle of the bed

I should be holding you instead

Come lay down beside me
While I sleep
Leave your heart a mystery

Spare me all of your lives
The small town smiles
This could take a while
(This could take a while)
This could take a while
The long goodbye

The long goodbye
(Can't you hear the sound?)
(Of the walls falling down?)
(Can't you hear the sound?)

I could tell that we were wrong

Come lay down beside me
While I sleep
Leave your heart a mystery

Spare me all of your lives
The small town smiles
This could take a while
(This could take a while) ohh

Lay down beside me
This could take a while
So, it's time for the long goodbye

Long goodbye, baby
Yeah, yeah (goodbye)
