A Long Goodbye
Written by Clarke / Bell - From the Album Erasure

In these days of mine for keeps I'm trying to hold on
Suddenly you're all out of reach and everything goes wrong
What we say and what we do are entirely different things
Meaningless straight through the roof it's not how it should be

Easy like a bird I ride the breeze my mind is falling

You're so ordinary, you're my sanctuary in the morning darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart and a long goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction 
In this crazy land of milk and honey life is just an illusion

I just don't know what to believe in, if the truth be known
Suffering from soul fatigue, weathering the storm
What we say and what we do are entirely different things
Whispered voices fill the room it's not how it should be

Swaying like a tree I feel the sky somebody calling

You're so ordinary, be my sanctuary in the morning darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart and a dumb goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction
 In this crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion darling

Easy like a bird I ride the breeze my mind is falling

You're so ordinary, be my sanctuary in the morning darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart and a long goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction 
In this crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion

You're so ordinary, sanctuary, be my one in the morning darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart and a dumb goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction
In this crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion

You're so ordinary, sanctuary, be my light in the morning darling
New sensation, love vibration, heart to heart and a long goodbye
You go your way, I'll go my way, life is truer than fiction in this
Crazy mixed up world of honey life is just an illusion darling
