The goodbye look


The surf was easy on the day I came to stay
On this quiet island in the bay
I remember a line of women all in white
The laughter and the steel bands at night

Now the americans are gone exept for two
The embassys been hard to reach
Theres been talk and lately a bit of action after dark
Behind the big casino on the beach

The rules are changed
Its not the same
Its all new players in a whole new ball game

Last night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray
Ive had this fever now since yesterday
Wake up darling theyre knocking the colonels standing in the sun
With his stupid face the glasses and the gun

I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look

Wont you pour me a cuban breeze gretchen

I know a fellow with a motor launch for hire
A skinny man with two-one shoes
Cause tonight theyre arranging a small reception just for me
Behind the big casino by the sea

I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE GOODBYE LOOK of STEELY DAN is also present in the album The nightfly (1982)

Biografia

Steely Dan is an American musical group formed in New York City in 1972, known for its sophisticated and distinctive sound, a fusion of jazz, rock, funk, rhythm and blues, and pop. Founding members Donald Fagen and Walter Becker have always maintained a high level of attention to music production, characterized by complex arrangements and impeccably defined sound. Their often introspective music, rich in cultural references, anticipated many musical trends of the 1980s. Among their most representative songs are "Reelin' in the Years", "Deacon Blues" and "Peg". Steely Dan released ten studio albums between 1972 and 1980, achieving significant critical and commercial success. After a hiatus of over twenty years, the band reunited in 2000 for new recordings and tours, demonstrating their enduring ability to captivate a wide and diverse audience.
