verse 1
I'm a local man
Can you tell me how I can
Can I touch you please
I have been blessed
But I've been told to rest
I'll call if you let me
If I have to go, I'm not taking you along
I'm riding out the waves and testing out the hurdles
So long my love, this is goodbye, so long
This is good-bye
Instrumental
verse 2
I'm a restless man
Can you tell me how I can
Can I touch you please
I have been blessed
the doctor told me to rest
but I'll be here if you need, I'll be here if you need
If I have to go, I'm not taking you along
I'm riding out the waves and testing out the hurdles
So long my love, this is goodbye, so long
This is good-bye
Middle 8
I can't decide if she really loves me
I can't decide if she really loves me
I can't be sure if she really loves me
I can't decide if she really loves me
Instrumental
verse 3
My forehead met the pavement
But I've started to come round
I've been cut, spat out and hollowed
This time I'll stay down
If I have to go, I'm not taking you along
I'm riding out the waves and testing out the hurdles
So long my love, this is goodbye, so long
This is good-bye
