lyrics

You left me at the cusp
of true adulthood,
and yet I was far too young to be thrust
into the gaping maw
of a breathing world that I am so afraid of

Goodbye
To the stories in bed
Goodbye
to the actor in my head
Goodbye...
Goodbye...

I wish I could introduce you
to all the good people I have met,
music I have heard, and films I have seen
since then,
but most of all I wish that I had the chance
to say...

Goodbye
To the years you were in my life
Goodbye
to when I call in times of strife
Goodbye...
Goodbye...

I banish every thought of you
for fear that I would be seen to be too vulnerable,
but the very thought of you gives me power.
Your ghost is what I feel behind me.
It gives me the strength to say...

Goodbye
To all the gray hairs in the sink
Goodbye
To conversations over which we would never drink
Goodbye...
Goodbye...

In my heart of hearts I know
that you were at peace in the end.
As you slowly went to sleep,
never to wake up again
and we on the ground
lifted our heads up to the sky.
We dared not say the word...

Goodbye
To the father I love
Goodbye
to the boy down below
Goodbye...
Goodbye...

And for the first time in my life
I feel that I am at a loss for words
but inwardly I am screaming, begging,
crying to be heard.
Yet no sound emits from this throat,
dry from crying.
I refuse to say...

...and eternally I will be waiting for a sign,
a glimmer of recognition within a dying star
in a darkened sky,
but it is one final breath, a shudder,
a forceful closing of the eyes.
I am now prepared to say...
...Goodbye...
