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
