To Say Goodbye

Album: Burnt Toast And Offerings (2007)

  • Children playin’, night is fallin’
    Stars are winkin’ in the sky
    Supper’s cookin’, mama’s callin’
    But they’re not ready to say goodbye

    While you’ve been sleepin’, I’ve been walkin’
    I’ve been restless but I swear I don’t know why
    I’m not cryin’, it’s just rainin’
    I’m not ready to say goodbye

    We are dreamers, slowly wakin’
    We are shootin’ stars across a midnight sky
    We are strangers in the makin’
    We’re not ready to say goodbye

    I’m no angel, I’m no demon
    I'm no Christian but I ain’t afraid to die
    I’m not leavin', I’m just goin'
    'Cause you’re not ready to say goodbye

    Ghosts and angels on my street now
    Yes and there but for the grace of God, go I
    So draw the curtain, light the lamp now
    'Cause I’m not ready to say goodbye
    You’re not ready to say goodbye
    We’re not ready
