Restless Farewell

Oh, all the money that in my whole life I did spend
 Be it mine right or wrongfully
 I let it slip gladly to my friends
 To tie up the time most forcefully
 But the bottles are done
 We've killed each one
 And the table's full and overflowed
 And the corner sign says it's closing time
 So I'll bid farewell and be down the road
 ♪
 Oh, ev'ry girl that ever I've touched
 I did not do it harmfully
 And ev'ry girl that ever I've hurt
 I did not do it knowin'ly
 
 But to remain as friends you need the time
 To make amends and stay behind
 And since my feet are now fast
 And point away from the past
 I'll bid farewell and be down the line
 ♪
 Oh, ev'ry foe that ever I faced
 The cause was there before we came
 And ev'ry cause that ever I fought
 I fought it full without regret or shame
 But the dark does die
 As the curtain is drawn and somebody's eyes
 Must meet the dawn
 And if I see the day, I'd only have to stay
 So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone
 ♪
 Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind
 I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung
 But it's not to stand naked under unknowin' eyes
 It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung
 But the time ain't tall
 Yet on time you depend and no word is possessed
 By no special friend
 And though the line is cut, it ain't quite the end
 I'll just bid farewell till we meet again
 ♪
 Oh, a false clock tries to tick out my time
 To disgrace, distract and bother me
 And the dirt of gossip blows into my face
 And the dust of rumors covers me
 But if the arrow is straight
 And the point is slick
 It can pierce through dust no matter how thick
 So I'll make my stand and remain as I am
 And bid farewell and not give a damn
