Goodbye Tiger

Clapton

Geez, he said, the bands don't seem to play round here no more

And Saturday night just ain't the same

Wish everything was back the way it used to be before

Now I sit here and push my long hair back behind my ears

The face I used to hide behind, is now becoming ghostly with the years

Goodbye, tiger

Chasing those dolce vita times

Somehow you seem to have left me far behind

But you can hear me whisper on the nightline

"Goodbye Tiger"

I keep shifting round, I wear the dust of many foreign streets

Drifting and shifting with the wind

Now this same wind is howling like a cyclone here inside

And I see I've got nothing left to hide

Nobody's gonna take the stage tonight

But I'll sit here anyway, and sigh

Goodbye, tiger

Chasing those dolce vita times

Somehow you seem to have left me far behind

But you can hear me whisper on the nightline

"Goodbye Tiger"
