Letra de 'Goodbye' de This Train

We're stuck between heaven and earth. We reckon the old man dead and he shows up at our doorstep the very next day. One of these days...

(Chorus)
How long does it take?
How far does it go?
And when we get there, will we even know it?
From a whisper to a scream
From a bad day to a dream
This is the longest goodbye I've ever seen

One day I will step off of the edge of the earth
And one day I will leave this all behind
Tomorrow may be better, but the next day could get worse
And one day I will be set free from time
I don't know how to fly, and I insist
One day I will fling myself at the ground and miss

(Chorus)
How long does it take?
How far does it go?
And when we get there, will we even know it?
From a whisper to a scream
From a bad day to a dream
This is the longest goodbye I've ever seen

The mansion on the hill, it may be ready for me now
But don't give me the keys until it's time
Well you know me, I'd probably just lose them anyhow
Could you just let me in when I arrive?
I don't have that much faith, yet I believe
One day love will blind my eyes until I finally see
As the choir invisible comes into view
I see with my eyes what my heart already knew
And just as a joke, I'll sing "It Had To Be You"
And I won't care if nobody laughs

(Chorus)
How long does it take?
How far does it go?
And when we get there, will we even know it?
From a whisper to a scream
From a bad day to a dream
This is the longest goodbye I've ever seen
