So long

Fare thee well

The dancer and the dancing days

Have taken leave and fell

So turn down this bed of stone

Quench me with the deadly nightshade

From the rose that you belong

The long December rain is falling now

Running down on streets to nowhere

Music is my life

You're my sweetest nightingale

But I can't feel it here no more

So I go

I go

Hush now

Don't shake or break

Words have fallen silent

Like soldiers to the grave

No matter what they do or say

Lay me on the sleepy meadows

By the tracks upon your face

The long December rain is falling now

Running down on streets to nowhere

Music is my life

You're my sweetest nightingale

But I can't feel it here no more

And I go

I go

I go

I go

The long December rain is falling now

Running down on streets to nowhere

Music is my life

You're my sweetest nightingale

But I can't feel it here no more

So I go

I go

I go

I go
