Name: And Say My Goodbyes
Duration: P00H03M36S
Description: An old recording of a guitar magically appears on the desk of an old house that feels empty. There is dust and dog hair everywhere. People lived here once. You walk into the living room and startled pigeons flap their wings, madly trying to fly out the open window. You sit down, leaning against the front door, and mentally re-arrange the furniture.

AND SAY MY GOODBYES
copyright 2006 john common music

how could everything have changed
and nothing else remains the same
except for you?

empty places on the wall,
no one left to call,
you took them too.

who said this was easy?
they lied, okay.
if i could crawl inside you
i'd wither away and say my goodbyes.

i can feel you on my skin
trying to get in my head.
and i know that that aint right.
i fight it every night inside my bed.

who said this was simple?
they lied, okay.
if i could crawl inside you
i'd wither away and say my goodbyes.
