Lonsome Cowboy Bill's Song - Steve Forbert

I waited for moonlight, I waited for fall

I waited for midnight, I waited for calls

I waited for daylight, I waited for signs

I waited for love, I guess I wasted my time

So long, don’t you ask me to stay

Goodbye, all you sleepytime days and nights

Down to sleepytown way

If you want me to I’ll remember you.

..

I stood in the street where the rain made it shine

I turned up my collar and I made up my mind

I gotta be leavin', gotta leave you today

My future alone is just a whisper away

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE

So long, baby--I say bye, bye, now

I says so long, babe

Hey, hey goodbye, bye now…

I got to be leavin', I got to be gone

Sleepy town waiting, hung me up for too long

I got to be leavin', I can’t hang around

It’s bringin' me down, already down to the ground

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
