Good-bye to you, again.
I can’t remember when.
I’ve dug down all the way,
there’s nothing left to say.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to you again.
Been such a long refrain.
Some 40 years I’ve whispered it,
and hoped to hear the opposite.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to you, again.
What comes after the end?
No final gift to share,
no word or sign of care.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to you, again,
my farewell’s at its end.
So many moments of good-bye,
to what was never realized.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to you, again.
Do you remember when?
You chose and chose and chose again,
and now there’s nothing in the end.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to you, again.
I’m no one, as I’ve been.
A shell to fill the space,
A witness to your face.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to you, again.
I’ll walk away, and then,
you’ll forget I was there,
turn from that empty chair.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to you, again.
You never said Hello.
You never welcomed me,
So I was never here.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to you, again.
I hope it’s quiet in the end.
I hope the silence is like shade,
and that the lights just gently fade.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to you, again,
this chapter’s at its end.
Parts of me written in your hand,
but now I’ll simply turn the page.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to you, again.
I can’t remember when.
I think now I’ll stop trying,
because finally hope is dying.
No flicker in the dark, no steady spark,
no welcome golden glow to lead me home.
Good-bye to what you never were.
Good-bye to what you really were.
Good-bye to what I wanted…needed…
Good-bye to breaking myself to ‘earn’ what was always denied.
Good-bye to you.
Hello, tomorrow….
