The Long Goodbye
I know they say if you love somebody, you should set them free
But it sure is hard to do, It sure is hard to do
And I know they say if they don't come back again, that its meant to be
But these words ain't pulling me through, cos I'm still in love with you

I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But its just you and me going through the mill, climbing up a hill

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts
No matter how hard we try
Your gonna make me cry
Come on baby its over lets face it
All that time and here is the long goodbye

Sometimes I ask my heart did we really, give our love a chance
And I know without a doubt, you turned it inside out
And if we walked away would it make more sense
But it tears me up inside just to think we still could try
Our love was sweet, kept riding on a carousel
Going round and round and never getting anywhere on a winning prayer

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts
No matter how hard we try
Your gonna make me cry
Come on baby its over lets face it
All that time and here is the long goodbye
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts
No matter how hard we try
Your gonna make me cry
Come on baby its over lets face it
All that time and here is the long (long) goodbye

Are you ever coming back again?
Are you ever coming back again?
Are you ever coming back again?
I guess I'm coming back again
Whiskey In the Jar
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
A man with Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or I am a born deciever

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I brought it home to Jenny
She said and she swore that she never would decieve me
But the devil take that woman for they never can be easy

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

I went into my chamber for a check of slumber
I dream't of golden jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water
And set for Captain Farrell to be ready for the sauna
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
