about

I've been trying to get this song on a release for awhile but was never satisfied with it. So, here's the version I settled on. I wrote it forever ago in the wilds of Maine while working on a film alone in a cabin with a guitar I had recently stolen. It's about, well, saying goodbye.

lyrics

I've become so lazy
She lied now she's crazy
I made amends with her
She flew away like a bird
In the night sneaking away
Trying to make it another day

Whisper to her in the night
Tell her softly it will be alright
She says, "Baby, don't lie."
And she starts to cry
And I sigh
Goodbye
Baby goodbye

Never wanted to be the fool
Never wanted you to be so cruel
I can only see so far
I never know where you are anymore
'Cause you're sneaking away
Trying to lose another day

This is the last time that I'll see you
Just can't take what you put me through
She starts to cry
And so do I
And she sighs
Goodbye
Baby goodbye
Baby goodbye
Baby goodbye
