Today I looked at the paper
I looked at the people, watched the rain
I heard a song on the radio
Trying to break my heart all over again
Last night I went to the movies
But what they show is all the same
A soul in need of saving
Locked in a length of chain
If that's what's awaiting
Then I'm gonna leave my lighthouse on
See the ocean waving
I'm as good as gone
Took a ride in the subway
Trying to see things brand new
But I caught myself searching
For someone like you
I ain't getting no younger
Oh, just doing the rounds of my heart
You'd think I'd learn my lesson
Stop tearing my world apart
I've seen the kind of thing they call the future
And I've seen the kind of mind I'm gonna be
I took a look, I looked at what I should not see
But I'll tell you one thing I don't see
I don't see me
'Cause if that's what's waiting
Then I'm gonna leave my lighthouse on
See the ocean waving
I'm as good as gone
Goodbye - I'm as good as gone
