goodbyes

[tyarky]

slowly runs the lazy river
and in it i pitched all my dreams
and all the things i ever wanted
i watched them eddy slowly downstream
for i have learned that such things fade
like photographs and family holidays
and every monday is goodbye sunday

i guess you'd like me to throw away
that box of diaries and old letters
for they do nothing
but feed my memories
but really you should know me better
for i am too fond of the past
but i think i'm learning at last
and every monday is goodbye sunday

every monday is goodbye sunday

guess it's true that
i cling to things that i should leave behind
as if those were golden days
well, i just hope that you really don't mind

slowly runs the lazy river
for i am too fond of the past
but look i'm happy at last
every monday is goodbye sunday

goodbye sunday - everything but the girl/idlewild(1988)
