THE GOODBYE SONG

Pull away in a taxi cab - I see your face pressed to the glass
Oh I, I'm gonna wait for you
Say goodbye to the neighbor's kids
Keep a secret of the things we did
Oh I, I was to late for you

Goodbye

She was living in Baltimore - at a truck stop outside Arkansas
He said I, ah what's the use for me
He hangs up his eyes start to burn
Out of habit he checks the coin return
And says I...I'm gonna let it be

Goodbye (leavings overdue)
Goodbye (its sad but true)
Goodbye (all that we went through)
Goodbye (go on - start a new)

He was so shook up pushing in that truck and she was never gonna know
He said I'm out of here, I know my road is clear and I'm never coming home

The writer sits with his head in hand. Make a statement take a stand
But I, I'm just not mad anymore
Secretaries at their IBM answer the phone and say He's not in
And he he waits for her at the door

Goodbye to the lost brigade as the sunlight fades on a whole new world as
real as cultured pearls to the five and dime to the wasted time to the lies
we told coming in from the cold we went off the track but you can't look
back to the sacred truth of our eternal youth
