So Long So Long Lyrics

Hand out the window 

Floatin’ on air 

Just a flip of the wrist 

I’d be wavin’ you goodbye 



Drive past the lifeguard stand 

Where I sit around waiting for you to remember 

Well past the beach hotels 

Where the girls are getting’ bronzed on their monogrammed towels 



I drive this ocean road 

And remember 



How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes 

And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying 

And how the grace with which she walked into your life 

And stay with you in your steps , pace with you a while 

For so long, so long 

so long so long 



The speaker in this door is blown 

So nothing sounds quite right 

And I drive this ocean road 

And I remember 

The small of your back 

And the nape of your neck 

And the soft way you’d hold me in the night 



I remember 



How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes 

And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying 

And how the grace with which she walked into your life 

Will stay you in your steps, and pace with you a while 

So long, so long, so long, so long sl sl sl sl sl sl sl sl sl sl sl 



(Interlude of da da dum…) 



And I will leave under the cover 

Of summer’s kiss upon the sky 

Like the stone face of your lover 

Just before she says goodbye 

I was thinkin' that the season could be held between my arms 

But just as summer’s hold is fleeting 

I was here but now I’m gone 

I’m gone
