Eine der ganz großen Stimmen im Hard Rock Bereich gehört dem Iren Robin McAuley, der den meisten wohl durch seine andauernde Zusammenarbeit mit Michael Schenker oder von der Supergroup Black Swan bekannt ist. Von seiner im Mai erscheinenden neue Soloplatte „Standing On The Edge“ stammt die zweite Single ‘Say Goodbye‘, die ihr hier hören könnt.

Robin sagt über das Album:

„Perhaps this record is not everything I ever wanted to say or record in a solo effort, but it’s how I felt at the time. I’m far from being done. Hope you like what you hear,“

Lyrics:

SAY  GOODBYE

 

I’D LIKE TO KNOW JUST WHERE YOU’RE GOING

 

I’D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND

 

THE STORM IS COMING I JUST KNOW IT

 

I THINK WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME

 

TAKE CONTROL IF THAT’S THE ANSWER

CAGE ME IN AND LOCK THE DOOR

 

IF I DON’T EAT I’LL DIE OF HUNGER ‘COS YOU

DON’T FEED ME ANYMORE

YOU KNOW HOW TO GET INSIDE MY MIND

 

YOU’RE NOT GONNA’ LIKE THE THINGS YOU FIND

 

WAKE ME UP TO SAY GOODBYE

 

PLEASE DON’T LEAVE WITHOUT ME KNOWING

NO REGRETS NO NEED TO CRY

 

JUST LEAVE THE KEY AS YOU SAY GOODBYE

 

 

GONNA’ BE A COLD COLD WINTER

 

NO MORE SUN ’TIL THE RAIN HAS GONE

 

I DON’T THINK THAT WE COULD EVER

HAVE SEEN IT COMIN’ FOR SO LONG

 

 

AND AS I CRAWL INTO MY BED

 

IT’S 4AM AND I’M WIDE AWAKE

ANOTHER PILL FOR MY ACHING HEAD

 

A FORTY-FIVE MIGHT BE BETTER INSTEAD

 

 

I’VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO LOSE CONTROL

 

BUT THIS TIME AROUND I MIGHT LOSE MY SOUL

 

WAKE ME UP TO SAY GOODBYE

 

PLEASE DON’T LEAVE WITHOUT ME KNOWING

 

NO REGRETS NO NEED TO CRY

 

JUST LEAVE THE KEY AS YOU SAY GOODBYE

 

I WAS SO BLIND

TOOK YOU AT YOUR VERY WORD

 

NOW IF YOU DON’T MIND

 

I’M BETTER OFF IN MY NEW WORLD
