All The Goodbyes

about

This was a melody I used on my first album but I wrote a different set of lyrics. When I hear it now it always makes me think of Helen.

lyrics

All Of The Goodbyes
©Tim Harrison and Second Avenue Song 1997


Our pleasure's in ruin
You've made for your bed
The fire is burning low
Limbs fall and pray
In hope that they'll stay
For the morning to be and to warm
Glistening tears
Accompany your fears
Of saying some final farewell
And move to the light
And head for the stars
And the story that noone can tell

Chorus:
But all of the goodbyes
We say in our lives
Fall like silence on a dark midnight street
Where in quiet longing
The angels are calling
The ones who are left to their sleep

The earth spins around
She nods to the stars
A traveller who seeks for her sun
She longs for the day
When time fades away
And the universe falls back into one
But day follows day
The moon dogs our way
And follows the mystery train
We rise for our time
Seek for a rhyme
And then disappear once again
