Goodbye Forever Once Again - Jason Webley

I drink in the tears of the lovers at the station

As they part I watch them from above

Is everyone I love turning into a stranger?

Are these strangers all becoming the ones I love?

Goodbye forever once again

Goodbye forever once again

I’m standing in the rain with my lovers and my friends

Singing goodbye forever once again

You and I made love between the train tracks and the graveyard

For just a couple hours you were mine

Now I watch the sky, it helps e forget your face

So I can touch your lips again for the first time

I keep all the embraces that once kept me warm

In a scrapbook I flip through sometimes

I get drunk on nostalgia

I tell myself this life’s been good

But so many pages are wrinkled and worn

The faces are fading away

Just snapshots of graceful decay

And I can’t tell if I’m holding o to

The things I should

The bent trunk of a tree

White flowers in the meadow

The path of each leaf dancing in the wind

Every star you see

Each ripple in the river

Whispers «goodbye forever once again»

We keep singing the refrain

Even though the song will end

Goodbye forever once again
