Song | Farewell |
Artist | Rod Stewart |
Album | The Seventies Collection |
Lyrics:M.Quittenton Music:R.Stewart | |
Fare thee well my brother | |
please don't stand in my way | |
I'm going down to that dirty town | |
no matter what you say | |
You fooled me and you ruled me | |
and you played in every part | |
I gotta go, it's no use me stayin' home | |
Goodbye my sister | |
please don't let me see you cry | |
Gonna be a star some day | |
no matter what they say | |
And when you hear the crowds | |
all callin' and shouting out my name | |
until then, my little friend, I'll be unsatisfied | |
So long sweet Melinda | |
don't forget that you're my girl | |
Gonna dress you fine | |
and if you give me time | |
make you proud like I said I would | |
And if the Champs Elysee's no fallacy | |
If I find the world looks like it should | |
Candy cars, movie stars, street bars | |
then I could stay a while | |
Well I love you | |
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome | |
and I'll miss you all | |
even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back | |
Farewell all my family | |
don't you know I mean you so well | |
Please appreciate I must make a break | |
just to see what I can do | |
The stage is set so understand | |
I can't hide in the wings no more | |
I've got to go now it's no use me staying home | |
All I can say is I love you | |
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome | |
And I think I'm always gonna miss you | |
And I love you always | |
I think I'm always gonna miss ya | |
even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back | |
And I love you and I miss you | |
If you don't get no mail you know I'm in jail | |
But I love you and I miss you |
