[Verse 1]
Farewell, okay
You'll be on your way
You'll be on your own now
But to my dismay
I can't go on
After what you've done

But there are two words that sound like "pray"
I'm not going to tell you which one I'm thinking of
Farewell, okay (Farewell, okay)
Farewell, okay

[Verse 2]
I thought you'd change
And get a little humble
You strike your strange disposition
Like a drummer hits a cymbal

It rings on in the vicinity
From an instant thrill to infinity
That doesn't seem like a sin to me
Farewell, okay (Farewell, okay)
Farewell, okay

[Bridge]
Ran my hands in the rhythm along the ballroom wall
Felt the rumble of thе bass through the entrance hall
And thе door flung open to a mascara cry
I can't shake the sound of "How could you?" or "Why?"
Can't get the stain off my hands ever since
From the fake marble pillar past a curtain of chintz
A splatter of steps on a chalk floor pattern
A trim of black lace on a hem of red satin

[Verse 3]
Goodbye, so long (Goodbye, so long)
There's no right or wrong (Right or wrong)
This might be the final word I chance in the very last dance

The appeal of the trumpet to a pearl of red laughter
Of lipstick and kisses right here under the rafter
A fumble for Heaven in a thimble of draft
A seldom of Elvis in the velvet hereafter
Farewell, okay (Farewell, okay)
Farewell, okay (Farewell, okay)
Farewell, okay, oh (Farewell, okay)
Farewell, okay (Farewell, okay)
