[00:19.111]An outcry
[00:20.115]To lost dreams and sense of wonder
[00:22.668]To the streets that raised him
[00:24.136]Say, "Goodbye" to the hope for the home he'd been holding
[00:27.299]Say, "Goodbye" and "Be gone" and "Be great"
[00:29.849]To the friends who left when they still could
[00:32.286]For the ones who chose to stay to waste away unplaced
[00:35.945]Alone, and pray
[00:36.986]To get out, to grow old, to grow strong
[00:39.514]And leave this city, so familiar all its places
[00:43.607]All these memories turn each day more to gray
[00:47.263]More they space out till it's once a year we'll catch up, maybe less
[00:51.835]Or else just daydreams while he's working late
[00:54.878]Thinks only of those friends and when they left
[00:57.909]"Are we still friends at all, my friends?"
[01:02.196]Can I leave?
[01:04.018]Rewind and find a younger man
[01:06.499]All hopes and goals and dreams alight
[01:08.821]And bright with friendship at the crossroads in the night
[01:12.549]"Now make a choice," the city said
[01:15.306]We were barely twenty then, but
[01:17.723]While I swore it my allegiance
[01:20.183]They chose leaving, all my friends
[01:22.333]And now it's letters, maybe phone calls
[01:24.995]That come less and less each year
[01:27.262]All addressed with wives and children
[01:29.692]To the fool who chose to stay here
[01:32.996]And it hurts me to know I'm alone now
[01:35.371]And it's worse when I know that I chose it
[01:37.766]Don't make the same mistake as me
[01:40.207]Don't make the same mistake
[01:42.197] 
[01:45.103]And now my friends have all left
[01:49.916]Or it's been me gone all along
[01:52.360]I guess we all part one day and drop like leaves into the breeze (And ain't it wild?)
[01:58.848]Ain't it bitter? (Didn't it carry you from me?)
[02:02.251]But it's the coping with my fear that keeps me here
[02:05.957]See, once it's gone (Do I regret you?)
[02:08.412]You can't retrieve it (Can I forget you?)
[02:10.860]I still believe I might get left here
[02:14.596]I might turn 63 still sweeping up the gutters in the street or weeding concrete
[02:20.860]Wait and see. We'll wait and see
[02:22.956]Or, rather, I will. Only me
[02:25.694]Only me
[02:28.964]"Don't make the same mistake as me
[02:33.805]Don't make the same mistake
[02:38.658]Don't make the same mistake as me
[02:42.672]Say 'Goodbye' and 'Be gone' and 'Be great' and be done and be free."
