A Short 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.
Sweet melodies
Breaking on a sullen ear
Will endear
And bring memories
Sweet melodies
Sweet melodies
Cross an ancient battlefield
Soaring still and claim memories
Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye now
Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye.
Sweet melodies
At a trembling finger stroke
Will evoke
A skin memory
Sweet melodies
Sweet melodies
Fade to quiet evening pale
And a trail of white memories
Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye now
Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye.
