One Goodbye

Your taxi waits on a Gotham night
Your head is hanging, you still got some fight
You're far away in a lonesome land
And you've left behind a lonesome man

A shadow carries over you
I never had a chance to do
The things you wanted, the things you would
The things that haunt, I never could

I'm glad we met, I'm glad we tried
My one regret
We got one goodbye

I come in pieces, I always have
I miss your face and the way you laugh
The world turns, you're holding still
The music lifts your troubles will
I've been around, you know it's true
This old town gets the best of you
Mistaken footsteps foreign bound
You sat and smiled your shaky crown.

I'm glad we met, I'm glad we tried
My one regret
We got one goodbye

I've got to go, there's work to do
Growing old is something new
It's like you find another way
Where day and night is night and day
Well so long
So long for good
And if I had the guts we could
The things last they carry on
They flicker fast and then they're gone

I'm glad we met, I'm glad we tried
My one regret
We got one goodbye
