The Goodbye Look lyrics

The surf was easy on the day I came to stayOn this quiet island in the bayI remember a line of women all in whiteThe laughter and the steel bands at nightNow the Americans are gone exept for twoThe embassy's been hard to reachThere's been talk and lately a bit of action after darkBehind the big casino on the beachThe rules are changedIt's not the sameIt's all new players in a whole new ball gameLast night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in grayI've had this fever now since yesterdayWake up darling they're knocking the Colonel's standing in the sunWith his stupid face the glasses and the gunI know what happensI read the bookI believe I just got the goodbye lookWon't you pour me a Cuban breeze GretchenI know a fellow with a motor launch for hireA skinny man with two-tone shoesCause tonight they're arranging a small reception just for meBehind the big casino by the seaI know what happensI read the bookI believe I just got the goodbye look
