Goodbye
Patty Griffin · A Kiss in Time [2003]
Occurred to me the other day
you've been gone a couple years
well I guess it takes a while
for someone to really disappear
I remember where I was
when the word came about you
it was a day much like today
the sky was bright and wide and blue
and I wonder where you are
and if the pain ends when you die
and I wonder if there was
some better way to say goodbye
today my heart is big and sore
it's trying to push right through my skin
won't see you anymore
I guess that's finally sinking in
'cause you can't make somebody see
with the simple words you say
all their beauty from within
sometimes they just look away
and I wonder where you are
and if the pain ends when you die
and I wonder if there was
some better way to say goodbye
some better way to say goodbye
you've been gone a couple years
well I guess it takes a while
for someone to really disappear
I remember where I was
when the word came about you
it was a day much like today
the sky was bright and wide and blue
and I wonder where you are
and if the pain ends when you die
and I wonder if there was
some better way to say goodbye
today my heart is big and sore
it's trying to push right through my skin
won't see you anymore
I guess that's finally sinking in
'cause you can't make somebody see
with the simple words you say
all their beauty from within
sometimes they just look away
and I wonder where you are
and if the pain ends when you die
and I wonder if there was
some better way to say goodbye
some better way to say goodbye
