Waiting for the night to come Listen for a thrush to sing And anyone to imitate it Looking for the star to point Lighting up a cigarette And inhale it with surreal air The moon is high It's time to go Evening tide and marigold Formula to start a quarrel Trajectories of dragonflies So tell me where they’ve gone And what it’s for And what it’s for Is there another way to say a long goodbye A long goodbye? Is there anyone who give me fire The wind is strong and cold as ice I can’t decide or help them out And I get tongue-tied I get tongue-tied So tell me where they’ve gone And what it’s for And what it’s for Is there another way to say a long goodbye A long goodbye? With sweetest lies a nighthawk’s Taking off to reach the star The story is going to fade into the past Into the past
