As the sun hides its head
Another nights rest
And the wind sings
Its same old song

And you on the edge
Never close, never far
Always there when I needed a friend

But it’s hard living life
On this merry-go-round
Always up, always down
Spinning ‘round and ‘round and ‘round

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

There once was a time
Never far from my mind
On the beach, on the 4th of July

I remember the sand
How you held out your hand
And we touched for what seemed a lifetime

But it’s hard
Leaving all this behind me now
Like a schoolboy so lost
Never found until now

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye

And it’s hard
Living life on this memory-go round
Always up, always down
Spinning ‘round and ‘round and ‘round

And all this could be
Such a dream, so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye
