goodbye (she quietly says)

there is no great big ending

no sunset in the sky

there is no string ensemble

and she doesn't even cry

and just as i begin to say that we should make another try

she reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye

there is no big explosion

no tempest in the tea

the world does not stop turning round

there's no big tragedy

sitting in a coffee shop with cheesecake and some apple pie

she reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye

good-bye

said so easily

good-bye

said so quietly

good-bye

good-bye

good-bye

just two always strangers avoid each other's eyes

one still make believing

one still telling lies

she tells me that i'm not to blame

but when i ask the reason why

she reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye

good-bye

said so easily. good-bye

said so quietly

good-bye

good-bye

good-bye

she reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
