Simple Goodbye

 

take we now our fragile things
and hold them too tightly
my love and I
are taking what the midnight leaves
wearing what the moonlight weaves
making the most of our simple goodbye


take we now our morning vows
make them so quietly
my love and I
are rising as the whispers fade
breaking what the moonlight made
making the least of our simple goodbye


think some more think again think some more
modern man
think again think some more think again
modern man
put on that armor
and do what you can
bravely


take we now our fragile things
hold them too lightly
try to hold her like a window holds the sky
watch her while she leaves the ground
try to keep the questions down
there's no such thing as a simple goodbye
there's no such thing, yeah
