Long Goodbyes Lyrics
Camel
Down by the lake, 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
Chorus
Long goodbyes make me so sad
I have to leave right now
And thouigh I hate to go
I know it's for the better
Long Goodbyes 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
Chorus
