Joe Beck - Goodbye, Dear One (feat. The Hopefuls) Lyrics

News travels slow out east from back home where you are
I heard you finally sold your last guitar
At night we would become kings
Those nights don't last for long
But all these years and I'm still writing songs

Maybe you're right, maybe I'm wrong

So goodbye, dear one,
We will not meet back there again
But don't think that I don't remember those nights every now and then
How do you leave out your heart
When I lead with my heart?
And goodbye dear one,
We will not meet back there again

There is no scar, I always knew just what you meant
There's nothing to make right, have no regrets
Men like me don't stay in one place for very long
So how am I the one who's still holding on?

Maybe you're right, maybe I'm wrong

So goodbye dear one, we will not meet back there again
But don't think that I don't remember those nights every now and then
How do you leave out your heart when I lead with my heart?
And goodbye dear one, we will not meet back there again

I thought together we would never be defeated
And I planned for a war and that's right when you retreated
I couldn't go back, you wouldn't go on
So maybe no one's right and maybe no one's wrong

So goodbye, dear one, we will not meet back there again
But don't think that I don't remember those nights every now and then
How do you leave out your heart when I lead with my heart?
And goodbye dear one, we will not meet back there again
