Pain
(Rod Stewart)
In these days of changing ways
so called liberated days
a story comes to mind of a friend of mine
Georgie boy was gay I guess
nothin' more or nothin' less
the kindest guy I ever knew
His mother's tears fell in vain
the afternoon George tried to explain
that he needed love like all the rest
Pa said there must be a mistake
how can my son not be straight
after all I've said and done for him
Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus
cast out by the ones he loves
A victim of these gay days it seems
Georgi
IT'S JUST GOOD-BYE
(C. Weil/J. Gruska)
The sweetest songs fade to echoes in the wind
The best of times must end, so a new day can begin
And the dreams we dream that seem so real at night
Must meet the morning light and vanish from our sight
Refrain:
It's just good-bye, remember
Time was never our friend
We walked the road together and we came to the end
It's just good-bye, now I won't tell you not to cry
But I swear that what we had won't die
Cause it isn't over, it's just good-bye
I close my eyes and I still can see your face
I know the truth of us, can't be bound by time or space
And the joy we shared, the magic that we've known
Is something that we own, though we may be alone
(Repeat Refrain)
(Instrumental)
It's just good-bye
It doesn't really matter why
I know what we had can never die
Cause I'll always love you
Yes, I'll always love you
So, it's just good-bye
