Goodbye Abbey Road The Abbey Road's gone for ever The Fillmore's & CBGB From legendary times & places We're left with precious debris We're left with just discolored pictures Where we can't recognize ourselves With numbers in the dated phonebooks With junk in attic on the shelves But late at night I see the faces And time has no effect at all Don't want to wake up if I'm dreaming About someone I have known So let them go friends, gods & years If this one ends I'll get into new phase We will call others our peers If we have to part our ways
Editas with my other translations i americanized the lyrics, i also took the liberty to improve on the original, i feel that i had a right because BG in 1974 was still about 6 years away from his prime, but already full of nostalgy, probably because half the band was preocupied with theatre.
