Never Say Goodbye - Hugh Cornwell

Black friend of the night

Why did you leave in such a hurry?

White friend of the day

You left us juggling our worries

Never say goodbye

For we’ll all be with you someday

Fond adieus but never say goodbye

Like lovers in the past

They swim and surface in our memories

Questions never asked

I’ll save them all for the next century

Never say goodbye

For we’ll all be with you someday

Fond adieus but never say goodbye

Tell us what’s over the horizon

Is it worth the chance

To hang around for more surprising?

Never say goodbye

For we’ll all be with you someday

Fond adieus but never say goodbye

Black friend of the night

Why did you leave?
