This is no fond farewell
   You can be sure I could wish it was no farewell at all
   It's been a good long run
   Oh, to be sure I don't regret much, not much at all
   I'm gonna dance the right away
   Gonna do what I want to any old day
   And all at once I know the clouds are gonna clear for me
  
   CHORUS
  
   And I will do alright, well in truth, I might
   I may be stumblin round, on some cold night
   I will miss the times when we were so right
   Although it seems so long ago, so long
   This is my swan song, I'm gone, gone
   This is no sorrowful day
   You can be sure I've got no axe to grind at all
   It's circumstance or burn out
   You can be sure I've been grinding, till I'm grinding to a halt
   Sometimes it's the right thing to cut the cord
   You've been holding on hard but your hands get sore
   Sometimes it's worth it, but sometimes you wonder what for
  
   CHORUS
  
   And I will do alright, well in truth, I might
   I may be stumblin round, on some cold night
   I will miss the times when we were so right
   Although it seems so long ago, so long
   This is my swan song, I'm gone, gone
