lyrics

VERSE 1

TIME TO LET GO, TIME FOR A TRYST
WITH A MOUNTAIN TOP, LOST IN THE MIST
TOO RA, TOO RA LYE AYE
PICK UP THE ROAD, AND TAKE UP THE SONG
THE LONG AND LONELY WINTER IS GONE
OF BLUE NIGHTS, LOST TO DISMAY
NO MATTER WHAT, OR WHENEVER YOU SAY

VERSE 2

AND YOU STROLL ON, DOWNTOWN TO THE PLACE
WHERE THROUGH THE CROWD
YOU SAW THE FROWN, YOU SAW THE FACE
AND BEGIN A TALE, IN TIME
FOR WHAT IT WAS, PLAYS ON YOUR MIND
AND MAYBE YOU’LL FIND
THE WHY’S AND BECAUSE, THOSE DAYS HAVE GONE BY

CHORUS 1

BYE, BITTERSWEET SOUL
FAIRWELL, ESTEPONA, AND A MISSED TURNING HOME
ON A ROAD LEFT UNTRAVELED, NOW WE’LL NEVER KNOW
SOFTLY SPOKEN, THE SPIRIT HAS WOKEN

VERSE 3

FOLLOW THE STREAM AS IT RIPPLES AND ROAMS
LISTEN TO THE DREAMS OF THE CHATTERING STONES
ON A CROOKED MILE, YOU FELL BY THE WAY
SO I’LL PICK UP THE ROAD, AND TAKE UP THE SONG
THE LONG AND LONELY TIME TO MOVE ON
AND DO RIGHT, RIGHT BY THE DAY
NO MATTER WHEN OR WHATEVER YOU SAY

VERSE 4

AND YOU STROLL ON, DOWNTOWN TO THE PLACE
WHERE AMONGST THE CROWD, ONCE HOPE ABOUNDED
NOW NOT A TRACE
TELLING A TALE IN TIME
FOR WHAT IT WAS, BUT PAY IT NO MIND
THERE’S NOTHING TO FIND
NO WHY OR BECAUSE
JUST DAYS OF GONE BY

CHORUS 2

BYE, BITTERSWEET SOUL
FAIRWELL, ESTEPONA, AND A MISSED TURNING HOME
ON A ROAD LEFT UNTRAVELED, NOW WE’LL NEVER KNOW
SOFTLY SPOKEN, THE SPIRIT HAS WOKEN
CHAINS ARE BROKEN
SOFTLY SPOKEN
