Rod Stewart - Farewell Lyrics
Fare thee well my brother
please don't stand in my way
I'm going down to that dirty town
no matter what you say
You fooled me and you ruled me
I gotta go, it's no use me stayin' home
Goodbye my sister
please don't let me see you cry
Gonna be a star some day
no matter what they say
And when you hear the crowds
all callin' and shouting out my name
until then, my little friend, I'll be unsatisfied
don't forget that you're my girl
Gonna dress you fine
and if you give me time
make you proud like I said I would
And if the Champs Elysee's no fallacy
If I find the world looks like it should
Candy cars, movie stars, street bars
then I could stay a while
Well I love you
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
and I'll miss you all
even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back
Farewell all my family
don't you know I mean you so well
Please appreciate I must make a break
just to see what I can do
The stage is set so understand
I can't hide in the wings no more
I've got to go now it's no use me staying home
All I can say is I love you
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
And I think I'm always gonna miss you
And I love you always
I think I'm always gonna miss ya
even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back
And I love you and I miss you
If you don't get no mail you know I'm in jail
But I love you and I miss you

To people like Sean South, I wonder why you listen to Rod . 60 yrs old now listened t Rod since I was 13 . Best he's ever done , tunefull and great liryics and sentiment. Please let me know what kind of music you like. I'm curious ?
Sounds exactly like I'm Listening by The Pet Shop Boys.
Great song (I bet this will be played at many a funeral)
It will be played at my Grandad's funeral next week.. good song, and he was a huge Rod fan.
A tribute to an old friend. Great song.
Well done Rod, just the best.
What a beautiful song.
Shit. Fuckin shit old twat lesbian looking prick, lyrically awful
A song that paints pictures with it’s lyrics. A masterpiece!!
Love Rod Stewart fantastic musician soulful.......the best
I love love love this song, the words....
You know ❤️x
Heather Lyall I know 😭
Just a little bit brilliant.
What kind of person would dislike this , probably someone incapable of real friendship
What a lovely poignant song! Love all the songs on this album. All very heartfelt and emotional.
BRILLIANT! Once a Rod fan, always a Rod fan (I forgave him his disco rubbish days lol!). LOVE this!
Maria McMahon Those were good too. Admit it.
@JR Gb What his disco stuff? Nope! Definitely not. He was always better than that but he did it for commercial reason. I knew he'd come back!
Superb song,
one word Rod fabulousx
ALLWAYS REMEMBER WHAT KENNY EVERET CALLED ROD THEY WERE GREAT MATES HE CALLED HIM SEX ON LEGS SOUNDS RIGHT AND THIS IS COMING FROM A HETEROSEXUAL BELIVE ME
Song is about his old pal Ewan Dawson. I had the privilege to know Ewan when he lived in Toronto in the mid 70s. Also thru Ewan I got to go for drinks with the Faces at the Royal York hotel in Toronto. Second last concert I believe before they split. . It brought a tear to my eye when I heard this song was about him. RIP Ewan.
Thanks Ray. I was wondering who this was about.
Wow. Amazing story. Thanks for letting us know who it was about
I can also tell you a fact, and this comes from mary, his sister, ewan was with him the first time he met Ron wood in the intriped fox in wardour street.
Paul Duffy : Thank you again. Amazing information. I naively thought it was a living song to Ronnie.
Bravo Sir Rod... Malaysia \m/
Its the best cd he's made i have it on every day
This song is so touching 😭😭😭😭 is about his best friend since they were kids that he past away .😭😭😭😭 I lived that experience.
Dolly Terry sane 😭x

El mejor del mundo forever young forever the best
Jesteś Wielki Rod !
You been my past and my future, love you mate❤️
I love the beat, and the meaning of the song, it makes me remember an old friend who died too soon, "Goodbye my old friend, I'll miss you, yes I will, So long my Best friend".
Fantastic song!
not great singing or tune,,,
fare well what a song you only have one
true mate tune rod
He is 74!!!
Did he write all of the songs on this album..?
He didn't write Grace
Great song . great vocals..still sounds young......

Lo nuevo de Rod Stewart LO MEJOR DE ESTE AÑO CON DIFERENCIA!!! Y eso que este año ha sido dabuten. Han sacado nuevo disco también Daron Malakian, Manolo García, Lenny Kravitz, Joan Armatrading y algún que otro ARTISTAZO de mi agrado que se me olvide. Pero ROD STEWART SIEMPRE SERÁ EL MEJOR!!! Y esta canción BUENÍSIMA como todo el disco!!! :)
El nuevo álbum de Paul Mc Cartney está muy bueno! Pero ROD siempre para mí será el mejor.

Anyone know who this song is about? Like, his name?
No, it wasn't him. Just saw an interview and it was a friend who died in 2013.
"...eh...John Baldry waiting to get the girl upstairs?...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..." X=0D
LOL I was wrong...whatever it was truly a lifetime friend to Rod, sorry about Long John! ;-)
Its about his best friend Ewan Lawson who passed away a few years ago.
RAY CANNEL DOES CHECK HIM OUT HERE SCROLL UP DOWN

Great ROD !!
It’s all trails cost me just go and look at
Good song he still look good and sexy
Blood red roses heartbroken... Beautiful.. ❤️
And he's still going strong after so many years. Incredible, and still got energy and even better writing songs the older he get. It's a joy to one been able to follow him since 1981 when I bought Tonight I'm Yours album, eleven years old <3
Saw show in New Port RI late sixties. Jeff Beck w\ Rod Stewart. Been a fan for long, long time. A fine wine.
He is great I remember him in the 60s still got it. The older he get the better he he is.
What? He's passed it and this song is pure tripe. Dad music.
I was 16 when I bought tonight I’m yours and been listening to rod since ever since
I have followed him since 1971 best then still the best
Love this ❤
Thumbs up Rod!
great song with a good beat .
one of his best songs in last 20 years
