Lyrics Bruce Hornsby

Bruce Hornsby

Swan Song

This is no fond farewell

You can be sure I could wish

It was no farewell at all

It's been a good long run

Oh, to be sure I don't regret much

Not much at all

I'm gonna love the night away

Gonna do what I want to any old day

And all at once I know the clouds

Gonna clear for me

And I will do all right

Well in truth, I might

I may be stumbling round on some cold night

And I will miss the times when we were so right

Although it seems so long ago, so long

This is my swan song, I'm gone, gone

This is no sorrowful day

You can be sure I've got

No axe to grind at all

It's circumstance or burn out

You can be sure I've been grinding

Till I'm grinding to a halt

Sometimes it's the right thing to cut the cord

You've been holding on hard but your hands get sore

Sometimes it's worth it, but sometimes you wonder what for

And I will do all right

Well in truth, I might

I may be stumbling round in some dim light

And I will miss the times when it was so right

Although it seems so long ago, so long

This is my swan song, I'm gone, gone

And I will do all right

Well in truth, I might

I may be stumbling round on some cold night

And I will do all right

Well in truth, I might

I may be stumbling round on some cold night

And I will miss the times when we were so right

Although it seems so long ago, so long

This is my swan song, I'm gone, gone

This is my swan song, I'm gone, gone

I'm gone, yeah, I'm gone

I'll be long, long gone, long gone
