How to Say Goodbye - Paul Tiernan
Leaving isn't quite the same
He said to me--as running away
If you're scared or tired of what you're scared of
Well why should you stay
He loved to say goodbye
And always counted out the time
Until he was free to get up and leave
To learn how to breathe
Again
Slipping out to have a cigarette
With someone else that he'd never met
Ask her if by the way would she like to run away
And try to forget
Or just not to stay to leave without saying why
To get up and go
To catch the last train
To get in some car
And drive out again
To never come back this way
And have to say
Goodbye
So long
Farewell
Au revoir
Goodbye
So long
Farewell
Au revoir
Goodbye
So long
Farewell
Au revoir
