|
We kissed goodnight |
|
And we turn out the light |
|
And we lay side by side in the dark |
|
And we're waiting for sleep or a spark |
|
But the night's on the run |
|
And the spark does not come |
|
And we quietly worry and wonder |
|
And the silence is louder than thunder |
|
And it rings with the sound of goodbye |
|
It rings with the sound of goodbye |
|
I can't even tell you just why |
|
It may be the truth or it may be a lie |
|
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye |
|
We can talk of the weather |
|
We can talk of the news |
|
We can talk of the talk of the town |
|
There's another true love going down |
|
We can talk about promises, talk about lies |
|
But there's no use pointing our fingers |
|
And the sound of 'I love you' still lingers |
|
But it rings with the sound of goodbye |
|
It rings with the sound of goodbye |
|
I can't even tell you just why |
|
It may be the truth or it may be a lie |
|
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye |
|
Time is forever |
|
But love is a fire |
|
And one day is one degree colder |
|
And the clock's tickin' over your shoulder |
|
And it ticks and it ticks, and it ticks and it ticks... |
|
And it ticks with the sound of goodbye |
|
I can't even tell you just why |
|
It may be the truth or it may be a lie |
|
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye |
|
Sound of goodbye |
|
I can't even tell you just why |
|
It may be the truth or it may be a lie |
|
But it sounds like the sound of goodbye |
|
(repeat once, fading out) |
