Written by Robbie Smith
The crowds are departing, the footlights are low
And so must the curtain fall
I’ll sing one more song now and then I must go
Adieu to you one and all
Goodbye, so long, fare thee well, au revoir
Goodbye, so long, fare thee well, au revoir
Now the concert is over the the shadows are long
Follow the corridor
The gallery’s vacant and the orchestra’s gone
The choir will sing no more
Goodbye, so long, fare thee well, au revoir
Goodbye, so long, fare thee well, au revoir
Ballerina kind-hearted one
She is waiting and watching the sun
Can you see her hiding a frown
Dressed in her angel gown
Now the street lamps are glowing and the river is calm
The city is sleeping still
A train is approaching announcing the dawn
Many a wish to fulfill
Goodbye, so long, fare thee well, au revoir
Goodbye, so long, fare thee well, au revoir
Goodbye, auf wiedersehen, fare thee well, au revoir
Goodbye, so long, fare thee well, au revoir…
Fare thee well, au revoir
