Say Goodbye

Say goodbye to those broken songs
Worn out words you speak
As the sun streams in your window
And the floor begins to creak
Coming through the party wall
You can hear somebody sing
You've got to let it out
Before you let it in

Say goodbye to those worn out clothes
Your favourite faded dress
The postman's knocking at the door
With news of your success
Above the rooftops, beyond the trees
Painted in the sky
Take your eyes up off the ground
And you can learn to fly

Say goodbye to those trophy flags
Your crumpled paper crown
Those black hearted memories
Have all but left this town
Fresh green grass, it grows between your toes
Beneath your feet
And feels like a marching band
Rolling down your street

Say goodbye to those unwept tears
poised upon your cheek
Let them fall and ride the wave
Toward the golden shore you seek
As this storm must heed
The call of distant thunder
Let it take you by the hand
And lead you from this slumber
