Last Goodnight

Lyrics

I saw you, old friend, on the TV screen tonight Telling your two week stories that wander out of sight St. Michael watched, we heard you fly so high Singing your rainy daze into my last good night If I had read my law books, we had never made a sound If we made any promises, we never wrote them down The last note played, I turned my head around And in our northern galleries, the white walls seemed so brown You didn't sing for anyone You didn't have to say You look so well, you sound so strong You feel so gone away I could not wish to keep you round I just don't work that way To a small hotel in Germany, I put down my guitar For another warm and easy ridе, it set us down too far From an old grey room across the sеa, I played the news to scar We stood down for the first test, let us lie the way we are You didn't sing for anyone You didn't have to say You look so well, you sound so strong You feel so gone away I could not wish to keep you round I just don't work that way
