He sits alone in the room
Scrapes his chair across the wooden floor
She stands at the top of the stairs
Throwing colorful letters into boxes
He hauls out the door

Goodbye, Goodbye
The letters said, goodbye
Why, why, why, why,
Couldn’t you just tell him goodbye

Like a lost boy he walks out the door
To the morning and the laughing crows
His mind, races so automatic
He fears, he’s in the losing love throes

Goodbye, Goodbye
The letters said, goodbye
Why, why, why, why,
Couldn’t you just tell him goodbye

The snow falling
On top of that big hill
if he can deliver his message
Directly to you he will

He’ll find some other place
He’ll seek some other space
where he can feel be safe,
And close his eyes and say

Goodbye, Goodbye
The letters said, goodbye
Why, why, why, why,
Couldn’t you just tell him goodbye

Goodbye, Goodbye
The letters said, goodbye
Why, why, why, why
Couldn’t he just tell you goodbye
