Goodbye Is All We Have
Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Lonely Runs Both Ways [Rounder] [2004]
I can hear the birds, and man, they don't lie
How you gonna catch me
When I'm this high?
I'm movin' on.
I've got the words to a brand new song
How you gonna catch me
When I'm this gone?
Chorus:
Gone tomorrow, here today
And just in case you got something to say
I'll be leaving with the rest if
Goodbye is all we have.
I disconnected the phone
Told the neighbors I'll be heading home
As soon as the light hits the morn.
I'm heading north
Gonna see what this heart's really worth
I guess it's time to be on my own.
Chorus:
Gone tomorrow, here today
And just in case you got something to say
I'll be leaving with the rest if
Goodbye is all we have.
Sure would love to see you tonight
Maybe try to end this fight
If I don't hear you knockin' on my door
Then I'll know for sure.
Gone tomorrow, here today
And just in case you got something to say
I'll be leaving with the rest if
Goodbye is all.
Gone tomorrow, here today.
I'll be leaving with the rest if
Goodbye is all we have...
