Goodbye forever once again,
You and I made love between the train tracks and the graveyard.
For just a couple hours you were mine.
Now I watch the sky, it helps me forget your face,
So I can touch your lips again for the first time.
Goodbye forever once again,
I'm standing in the rain with my lovers and my friends.
Singing goodbye forever once again.
I keep all the embraces that once kept me warm,
In a scrapbook I flip through sometimes.
I get drunk on nostalgia,
I tell myself this life's been good.
But so many pages are wrinkled and worn,
The faces are fading away,
Just snapshots of graceful decay.
And I can't tell if I'm holding o to
The things I should.
The bent trunk of a tree,
White flowers in the meadow,
The path of each leaf dancing in the wind.
Every star you see,
Each ripple in the river,
Whispers "goodbye forever once again"
