The Last Goodbye

The Last Goodbye

Down By Law
(album: Last of the Sharpshooters)

1,000 letters I have written but will never send
here it is, another end
and now we act like strangers, like we never met
but I can´t forget
you said you were on the other line that day
so I sat and waited for the callback that never came
now where can I dispel the memories of your crime?
where can I release the burn of bitterness inside?
there´s an astroplane of rage somewhere in the sky tonight
I need to find it, to unburden, to try to set my head on right
my heart feels hard even as the memories fade
soon I´ll be able to smile at all the times you took away
they say that I´ll get stronger form this
dear god let them be right
but I still see you when I close my eyes at night
this is the last goodbye
that´s what you want from me
this is the last goodbye
so that´s what you get
