Goodbye From The Start

(album: New Morning - 2010)

Is there anybody in there to come outside and play?
Did I run around you, did you run away?
Now there is nothing left but promises to fade

Was it goodbye from the start?
Coffee on Sunday and a walk in the dark
To your beautiful sadness when you stole my heart
Was it a goodbye, goodbye from the start?

Did I ask too many questions or have I been a pest?
Is there someone in the parlor thinking they know best?
Were you afraid of waking up inside another mess?

Was it goodbye from the start?
Stranded and lost when you hopped in my car
There's a beautiful sadness when you stole my heart
Was it a goodbye, goodbye?

From the beginning of the blinded eye
And the weakened of the weakened mind
I should know wherever we're leaving
Let it go, it's just a good time

Will you please forget me?
Can you learn to try again?
Can you try again?

Was it goodbye from the start?
Coffee on Sunday and a walk in the dark
To your beautiful sadness when you stole my heart
Was it just a good time?

Was it goodbye from the start?
Now there is nothing left but promises
And the beautiful sadness when you broke my heart
Was it a goodbye, goodbye from the start?
