Tonight I"m far away from where I"m supposed to be
Some hundred miles of darkness down the road
Rain shields on the windows, sheets on the chandelier,
Throwing shadows on my coat.
One too many times I have thrown the dice
Once too often gambled on my bliss
I"ll clear my debts, I swear that I will pay the price
And take the last chance that there is.
So long my love take care of you
When the day gets old
When the night grows cold I"ll think of you.
So long my love.
The heavy velvet curtain holds back another scene
The theatre is empty as we go
And all that will be left for us is a sweet memory
As they turn the lights down low.
If time will make us strangers, there"s nothing we can do
But to admit to our defeat
Life is an endless challenge that everyone goes through.
Without any chance to cheat.
So long my love, take care of you
When the curtain calls
When the hammer falls, I"ll think of you
So long my love
Did I ever tell you that I love you near enough
That I missed you on every single day
That every step without you, was a little less worth going
And that every place without you wasn"t worth to stay.
So long my love, remember me
When the stars shine from the sky
When the heavens cry,
When hope is rising high
And faith is doomed to die
With every lover"s sigh remember me
So long my love.
