Then Say Goodbye  - ListenHere      

Is the red inside your head the same as mine?

Is the drink you think I sink into like wine?

Is there something that I'm thinking

That's exactly what you're thinking?

Is the blue I see the same blue in your mind?

Could it be some extra special time of day

or could it be that last thin dime he'd pay

into that parking meter?

just so that he could read her

one more silly poem 'cause it's 

too early to go home.

The car can wait, it's not too late to make amends,

or say "Hello! What do you know? Could we be friends?"

Could it be a cheap disguise or

could it be the way your eyes

captivate me, lure and bait me into 

saying long goodbyes

Say hello to long goodbyes and

say so long to those "Good mornings,"

the greetings and the warnings

sometimes wear the same clothes home.

Could those roses red, cut dead mean something more

than pruning back what never grew before?

Is there something in those long stems

full of thorns that climb from vase rims?

Is there blood inside that rosebud just like mine?

Could there be another Be My Valentine?

Another table set for two to dine?

Could there be another day

one more rainy matinee?

A rain dance down Arguello 

with a vintage sort of fellow

Say hello to long goodbyes and

say so long to those "Good mornings,"

the greetings and the warnings

sometimes wear the same clothes home,

then say goodbye.
