I was down and out in a restless way Wandering thru an endless space, Nowhere to go no place in this world No escape from my own avalon. But there you were, like a ghost in the mist Wasn't real but too close for me Oh! i heard those words again and again We had a chance, but now that's gone. Then that phone call with your voice And you said hi, how are you? After the storm, i was feeling so low After losing you, babe, i had nowhere to go After wasting a thousand coins In the phone on your street, Waiting for a change to say how sorry i was And when i gave it up you made that call. All night long, no especial words But the truth was on the air, We talked and we laughed and we took away All the fears that we were carrying. And i can count, with the fingers of one hand Days like today in our time, And i liked the way you said at the end So long my friend.
