Leo Sayer - Goodnight, Old Friend lyrics

Farewell, old friend, leave me, now be gone
My soul is weak, my mind is never strong

Watch my hands at night and
See the way they're shaking
See the endless road, see the way it's taking
And it's still the same old night
And it still just don't seem right
And this darkness blinds my eyes

Writing down my life on
Endless scraps of paper
Years of hanging round
A life of wasted labour
And it's still the same old night
And somehow it don't feel right
And this darkness blinds my eyes

Goodnight, old friend
I'll see you once again
The dawn will come and haunt me once again

Watch my life unfold and see
The shape it's taking
Watch my fingers write and see
The way they're shaking
And it's still the same old night
And somehow it don't feel right
And this darkness blinds my eyes

Goodnight, old friend
I'll see you once again
The dawn will come and haunt us once again

And it's still the same old night
And it's still the same old night
And it's still the same old night
Ah, it's still the same old night
