Lyrics

The Sound Of Goodbye

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We kissed goodnight

And we turn out the light

And we lay side by side in the dark

And we're waiting for sleep or a spark

But the night's on the run

And the spark does not come

And we quietly worry and wonder

And the silence is louder than thunder

And it rings with the sound of goodbye

(Chorus)

It rings with the sound of goodbye

I can't even tell you just why

It may be the truth or it may be a lie

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye

We can talk of the weather

We can talk of the news

We can talk of the talk of the town

There's another true love going down

We can talk about promises, talk about lies

But there's no use pointing our fingers

And the sound of 'I love you' still lingers

But it rings with the sound of goodbye

It rings with the sound of goodbye

I can't even tell you just why

It may be the truth or it may be a lie

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye

Time is forever

But love is a fire

And one day is one degree colder

And the clock's tickin' over your shoulder

And it ticks and it ticks, and it ticks and it ticks...

And it ticks with the sound of goodbye

I can't even tell you just why

It may be the truth or it may be a lie

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye

Sound of goodbye

I can't even tell you just why

It may be the truth or it may be a lie

But it sounds like the sound of goodbye

(repeat once, fading out)
