Lonesome 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)
