"Goodbye To All That" lyrics

"Goodbye To All That"

Goodbye to the blue nights and the holiday heat
Goodbye to sunshine and the friends I didn't meet
Wasting my time tiling a rental
Wanna be on the inside but you're stuck in the middle

One of these days you wake up late
It's so matter of fact
I love you and I'm leaving
Goodbye to all that

Goodbye to the goldmine dangling in front of me
Goodbye to the miles from my family
Living like a satellite alone in the sky
Touch down for the night, so lonesome I could cry

One of these days you wake up late
It's so matter of fact
I love you and I'm leaving
Goodbye to all that

Goodbye to the dreamers, the poets and their songs
I'm afraid there's so much that I still haven't done
But I found God with you in a church basement
Watched the full moon rising over the ocean
Cried out for my loneliness, beset by betrayals
Found real holiness, surrounded by angels

One of these days you wake up late
It's so matter of fact
I love you and I'm leaving
Goodbye to all that
One of these days you wake up late
It's so matter of fact
I love you and I'm leaving
Goodbye to all that
I love you and I'm leaving
Goodbye to all that
I love you and I'm leaving
Goodbye to all that
