(Verse 1)
Goodbye, Goodbye
My long lost friend
It was so nice to see you again...
Whispers, Whispers
Walked along the streets,
Saying to me that we'd never meet...
(Chorus)
"Well I guess I, guess I, guess I,
I can't complain, can't complain.
To see your long lost shadow,
With my eyes again, eyes again.
Cold rumors, rumors, rumors
Took me by the hand, by the hand,
It's so nice, so nice
To see you with my eyes again, eyes again...
(Musical Interlude)
(Verse 2)
Goodbye, Goodbye
My long lost soul
Guess you must be wondering
That there's no where to go...
Echo's, echo's
Ringing through my ears
See you on the other, other side of here...
(Chorus)
"Well I guess I, guess I, guess I,
I can't complain, can't complain.
To see your long lost shadow,
With my eyes again, eyes again.
Cold rumors, rumors, rumors
Took me by the hand, by the hand,
It's so nice, so nice
To see you with my eyes again, eyes again...
(Musical Interlude)
(Verse 3)
Goodbye, goodbye
But I'll see you again
I'll see you on the other
And we can smile again
When shadows, shadows
Come knocking at my door, at my door,
I'll see you on the other, other side of here...
(Chorus)
"Well I guess I, guess I, guess I,
I can't complain, can't complain.
To see your long lost shadow,
With my eyes again, eyes again.
Cold rumors, rumors, rumors
Took me by the hand, by the hand,
It's so nice, so nice
To see you with my eyes again, eyes again...
Well I guess I, guess I, guess I,
I can't complain...Can't complain
I'll see you on the other, other side of here
I'll see you on the other, other side of here
Fade...

wow, very sad but it leaves you feeling good because you know that you'll see whoever you lost again. nice job and thanks for entering

Ohh, I'd love to hear this set to music. Have you come across a song by Butterfly 9 called "Goodbye For Now?" the lyrics of this really reminded me of that one [not in a plagerist sense, don't worry!]
anyhow; beautifully written, as I said, would add to it so much I'm sure if I could hear the music - what's it set to? like a crazy rocker song, or a slow ballad with gorgeous chord changes?
one bit didn't sit easy with me, the lines,
"Guess you must be wondering
That there's no where to go..."
just doesn't seem to make sense - "you must be wondering that there's nowhere to go" - you wouldn't really wonder about that, you'd realise it, or wonder IF there's nowhere to go? Also, think nowhere is just one word there
Thanks for entering

ps: i love pink floyd especially another brick in the wall! -
i'm not trying to be mean. but i really don't like this poem. at all. the use of repetition within this poem is really tiring, and really has no advantage at all (in dealing with a "deep" meaning and what have you). the rhyming scheme seems forced to me, but then again, i could have been reading it wrong.
i'm not saying that you have no potential. hell, as far as i'm considered, i should be the last person you should ever take advice from (trust me, i smoked opium earlier today). but, from one poet to another, i hope you'd have considered what i've typed and tried to employ whatever you can from them.
anywho, lastly, happy writing.
and don't get too down n' out on what i typed.

Thanks for your comment.
I understand what you are saying, but I think you have missed the point completely. it being Lyrics, rather than a poem. So I guess you've looked at from a poem point of view. and yes then I would understand. But on this occasion "no" this is not to be spoken but song to a sweet chilled out guitar.
All the best

Thanks...I don't just write dark story's. To be honest I have only been writing the dark ones for a couple of months.
I always like writing "Lyrics" if and when inspired!
Thanks again Georgie for reading and commenting.
All the best,

Well I honestly didn't care to much for the repetition but I think overall... without that this was not bad at all... usually I am a pretty tough cookie to impress with lyrics though... so no worries. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks Tarja,
I would say the only reason I write like this, is to try and give the reader an idea of how the rhythm and flow should go. It is never easy trying to express the sounds of the lyrics... I can only say, early "Pink Floyd" style would suit these lyrics.
Thanks again for reading and commenting.
All the best,
~T.S~
