So Long, So Long

Hand out the window

Floatin' on air

Just a flip of the wrist

And I'd be wavin' you goodbye

Drive past the lifeguard stand

Where I sit around waiting for you to remember

(As I drive)

How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes

And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying (keeping them)

And how the grace with which she walked into your life

Will stay with you in your steps,

And pace with you a while

So long, so long

So long, so long

The speaker in this door is blown

So nothing sounds quite right

(Taking my time

Taking this drive

Waving this town goodbye)

And I drive this ocean road

And remember

(The small of your back,

The nape of your neck

I remember everything)

As I drive,

Oh I'm waving this town goodbye

How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes

And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying

And how the grace with which she walked into your life

Will stay with you in your steps,

Pace with you a while

So long, so long

So long, so long

So long, so long

(Taking my time,

Taking this drive

Waving this town goodbye)

And I will leave under the cover

Of summer's kiss upon the sky

Like the stone face of your lover

Just before she says goodbye

I was certain that the season could be held between my arms

But just as summer's hold is fleeting

I was here and now I'm gone

I'm gone...
