I Am Goodbye

You are hello
A glowing cry
Heaven we go
Never say die
I'll likely never know
The answer why
You are hello
I am goodbye

I am goodbye
Like the end of something wonderful sometimes
Like the way that a wound-up toy top unwinds
I am goodbye
I am goodbye

I am goodbye
Like a beast in the distance you can't tell if fur or fowl
Like the last thing you see just before you hear the howl
I am goodbye

I am goodbye
Like the end of something wonderful sometimes
Like the absence that more and more crowds into my mind
I am goodbye
I am goodbye
