Farewell — текст песни (Rod Stewart)

(R. Stewart / M. Quittenton)

Fare thee well my brother
please don`t stand in my way
I`m going down to that dirty town
no matter what you say
You fooled me and you ruled me
and you played in every part
I gotta go, it`s no use me stayin` home

Goodbye my sister
please don`t let me see you cry
Gonna be a star some day
no matter what they say
And when you hear the crowds
all callin` and shouting out my name
until then, my little friend, I`ll be unsatisfied

So long sweet Melinda
don`t forget that you`re my girl
Gonna dress you fine
and if you give me time
make you proud like I said I would
And if the Champs Elysee`s no fallacy
If I find the world looks like it should
Candy cars, movie stars, street bars
then I could stay a while

Well I love you
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
and I`ll miss you all
even tho` you`re tryin` to hold me back

Farewell all my family
don`t you know I mean you so well
Please appreciate I must make a break
just to see what I can do
The stage is set so understand
I can`t hide in the wings no more
I`ve got to go now it`s no use me staying home

All I can say is I love you
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
And I think I`m always gonna miss you
And I love you always
I think I`m always gonna miss ya
even tho` you`re tryin` to hold me back

And I love you and I miss you
If you don`t get no mail you know I`m in jail
But I love you and I miss you
