Farewell

Lyrics

Fare the 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  
If you don't get no mail you know I'm in jail  
But I love you and I miss you
