Lyrics
Every day is a fragile thing
Reality that only time can bring
A jaded Saturday
All the things that we try to do
When the ice is thin you might break through
The mark is left in vain
Another high
I can’t imagine why you would ever even try
But it’s so long friend
And goodbye to everything we knew back then
And what might have been
Yes it’s so long friend
And goodbye to everything we knew back then
You never thought that it would end
Before the devil knows you’re dead
The actor leaves the stage ahead of cue
Breaking all the rules
But life goes on, we’re still here
Won’t be long ‘til the final tears are through
In a one act play
Without a Doubt
I can’t imagine how you would ever leave us now
But it’s so long friend
And goodbye to everything we knew back then
You're chasing the wind
Yes it’s so long friend
And goodbye to everything we knew back then
We never thought that it would end
