|
I drink in the tears of the lovers at the station |
|
As they part I watch them from above |
|
Is everyone I love turning into a stranger? |
|
Are these strangers all becoming the ones I love? |
|
Goodbye forever once again |
|
Goodbye forever once again |
|
I'm standing in the rain with my lovers and my friends |
|
Singing 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 |
|
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 |
|
And 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 don't know if I'm holding on 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 |
|
Goodbye forever once again |
|
Goodbye forever once again |
|
I'm standing in the rain with my lovers and my friends |
|
Singing goodbye forever, once again |
|
We keep singing the refrain |
|
Even though the song will end |
|
Goodbye forever once again |
