Goodbye

On a day so dark when the sky’s so low
I wonder deep inside if she’ll ever know
So here’s to a dream so high and dry
Will I ever know why she didn’t say goodbye

So bring me a glass of red red wine
Let me sing to a love that was once mine
But words don’t come no matter how I try
And I’ll never know why she didn’t say goodbye

I know it’s been such a long long time
Oh when she sang my love’s lost chime
But she went away like seasons in the sky
And I’ll never know why she didn’t say goodbye

So bring my guitar while I write this song
Lord, let me sing from night till dawn
But tears don’t stop no matter how I try
And I’ll never know why she didn’t say goodbye

I know it’s been such a long long time
When birds up above all sang their rhyme
But times that I knew seem lost in the sky
And I’ll never know why she didn’t say goodbye

Yet I know those days will never come again
Back when she sang in the lemon scented rain
Lord, if it’s life then I’d rather die
And I’ll never ask why she didn’t say goodbye.
