LONG GOOD BYE
words/music: bill mallonee

All i remember is that it was easy...easiest thing i ever done
i'd pick you up and the songs...they'd just come

had all these tapes spinning in my head
far too hard to ignore
but cha always helped me
string it through one day more

chorus:
Still there's one thing about which
i'll likely always be confused:
Did you choose this?
or did it choose you?

you were the only the doctor i could rely on
the only prayer i ever prayed
the only Savior i could count on
...to save

a 1000 songs, a million shows
to many, "yeah, kid, that one shoulda gone gold"
after the party died
you were all i could hold

bridge:
Thanks for letting me hold you
more than real, real tight
i hope you will forgive me dear
for keeping you up late at night

life is cruel and a mystery
you gotta find you a reason to believe
like the ace tucked inside
your sleeve

All i remember is that it was hard
hardest thing i ever done
I'd picked you up...and the songs?
they'd just come...
they'd just come...
yeah, they'd just come...
yeah, they'd just come...
