Say Goodbye

Take me to the river bed
Where Fine Creek ran dry
We’ll make it right as rain
With our lovers’ lullaby
We’ll lie amidst the roots and shallows
Older than our dreams
We can bury the hurt
In that soft red dirt
And pretend we’ll never have to say goodbye


Take me to the soft green hills
we’ll put it all to rest
I should have told you sooner, love
Should have got it off my chest
We’ll stay here in the silent shadows
A quiet, piney bed
We can bury the hurt
In that soft red dirt
And pretend we’ll never have to say goodbye

Time doesn’t always ease the pain
Just because it’s passing
Love doesn’t come to stay
Just because we’re asking
Some songs hurt more than others, love
And nothing stays the same



Lie me down in the lush, soft ground
A canopy of leaves
Still our hearts in the mossy mound
No one will ever see
I wish I’d told you sooner, love
I wish I’d told you so
We’ll put it all to rest
No sorrow will we know
We’ll bury the hurt
In that soft red dirt
And pretend we’ll never have to say goodbye
Goodbye
