No One Waved Goodbye - Edwyn Collins

I’m carrying on

I don’t know why I’m carrying on

Don’t get me wrong

I’ve still got my dreams to build upon

It’s just you’ve got your agenda and I’ve got mine

So why should I surrender, when you’re just spinning me a line

I’m tripping out

Strange to say I’m tripping out

Yet it all makes perfect sense

Though once or twice I’ve had my doubts

'Cause I’ve lost all sense of being

And I’ve lost all sense of time

But worst of all I’ve lost what was never really mine

Once we reached for the stars

On a wing and a prayer and a stolen guitar

Summer nights piggin' out

On pie in the sky

We were in with s shout

But it all disappeared in a blink of an eye

So no one waved goodbye

No one waved goodbye

I’m running scared

I don’t know why I’m running scared

A sudden sense of something nauseous in the air

Yet I know the answer hides

In the corners of my mind

So I drift and sift about

Just to see what I can find

Once we reached for the stars

On a wing and a prayer and a stolen guitar

Summer nights piggin' out

On a pie in the sky

We were in with a shout

But it all disappeared in a blink of an eye

So no one waved goodbye

No one waved goodbye
