Long Goodbye

Thompson Twins · The Greatest Hits [1996]

I have seen my future die

My whole past as well

That hurricane she knew my name

And tonight just feels like hell



You left me

Wanting

So much more

When your love has gone away

It's a long goodbye



Sometimes I see you dancing there

In the fading light

But when I look again you've gone

The poppies all run wild



You left me

Wanting

So much more

When your love has gone away

It's a long goodbye



I screamed with the wind

I howled at the rain

I even prayed

But nothing I do and nothing I say

Will bring you back again



A thousand questions never asked

I'm left wondering why

So many secrets never shared

Guess I'll keep them 'til I die



You left me

Wanting

So much more

When your love has gone away

It's a long goodbye
