Gary Brooker - Long Goodbye

I know I've done my best
But that's no consolation
I s'pose I should have guessed
When I saw the invitation
you told me love was blind
But you were only joking

I know you've changed your mind
But I still keep on hoping.
Head held high
Eyes on the sky

I know I've got to be strong
If I see you again
it will be as a friend
With time for a long goodbye

You know I felt so bad
When I left you at the station
It was the first time I
Had felt such desolation
It's been a long, long time

And I still can't forget you
But my friends all say
That maybe I don't want to.
Head held high
Eyes on the sky

I know I've got to be strong
If I see you again
it will be as a friend
With time for a long goodbye
