Swan Song Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

This is no fond farewell 

You can be sure I could wish it was no farewell at all 

It's been a good long run 

Oh to be sure I don't regret much, not much at all 

And I'm gonna love the night away 

Gonna do what I want to any old day 

And all at once I know the clouds are gonna clear for me 

And I will do alright 

Well in truth, I might 

I may be stumbling round on some cold night 

And I will miss the times when we were so right 

Although it seems so long ago, so long 

This is my swan song, I'm gone, gone 

This is no sorrowful day 

You can be sure I've got no axe to grind at all 

It's circumstance or burn out 

You can be sure I've been grinding, till I'm grinding to a halt 

Sometimes it's the right thing to cut the chord 

You've been holding on hard but your hands get sore 

Sometimes it's worth it but sometimes you wonder what for 

And I will do alright 

Well in truth, I might 

I may be stumbling round on some dim dim light 

And I will miss the times when we were so right 

Although it seems so long ago, so long 

This is my swan song, I'm gone, gone 

And I will do alright 

Well in truth, I might 

I may be stumbling round in some cold night 

And I will do alright 

Well in truth, I might 

And I may be stumbling round in some cold night 

And I will miss the times when it was so right 

Although it seems so long ago, so long, hey hey 

This is my swan song, I'm gone, gone 

This is my swan song, gone, I'm gone 

Oh, I'm gone 

Yeah, I'm gone 

Well I've been long, gone, gone 

Long gone 

Yeah yeah
