goodnight old friend

farewell old friend

leave me now be gone

my soul is weak

my mind is never strong

watch my hands at night

and see the way they're shaking

see the endless road

see the way it's taking

and it's still the same old night

and it still just don't seem right

and this darkness blinds my eyes

writing down my life

on endless scraps of paper

years of hanging round

a life of wasted labour

and it's still the same old night

and somehow it don't feel right

and this darkness blinds my eyes

goodnight old friend

i'll see you once again

the dawn will come

and haunt me once again

watch my life unfold

and see the shape it's taking

watch my fingers write

and see the way they're shaking

and it's still the same old night

and somehow it don't feel right

and this darkness blinds my eyes

goodnight old friend

i'll see you once again

the dawn will come

and haunt us once again

and it's still the same old night

and it's still the same old night

and it's still the same old night

ah

it's still the same old night
