cursed day

Well, I don't know how things got that way, but... but three irreversible goodbyes in my life either occurred on or were somewhat related to October 23.

Railroad station, midnight trains,

Lonely airports in the rain

And somebody stands there with tears in their eyes

It's the same old scene, time after time,

That's the trouble with all mankind

Somebody's always saying goodbye.

Taxi cabs leave in the night,

Greyhound buses with red tail lights

Someone's leaving, someone's left behind

Well, I don't know how things got that way

But every place you look these days

Somebody's always saying goodbye

Take two people like me and you

We could have made it, we just quit too soon

Oh, the two of us, we could have had it all

If we'd only tried

But that's the way love is, it seems

Just when you've got a real good thing

Somebody's always saying goodbye

Somebody's always saying goodbye
