lyrics

Oh well you found me in a bar on 109th
When my head was filled with gin
Your pin striped suit and your pick up line
About a beer just pulled me in

I looked in your direction
And I thought I'd found redemption
It was just a trick of the light

After a couple of beers of boozing
And a couple of rounds of losing
It ended up being just another one of those same old lonely nights

Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
And I'm creeping out of here by the old, oak door
No more long goodbyes
Oh this time, no reason why
You'll be waking in the bedroom
And I'll be gone

Oh well, I'm riding down the highway
Where the arrows point out for me
To where the angels all are living out the dream

That's when we moved in together
Thinking things would soon get better
But the discord start screaching
And the bottle started preaching
Taking my bereaving
To another lonely time and space

Oh yeah

Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
Now I'm creeping out of here by the old, oak door
No more long goodbyes
Oh, this time no reason why
You'll be waiting at the window
And I'll be gone

Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
Why does it always take so long to say goodbye
Why does it always take so long to say goodbye

Now I'll be gone
