SIX OR SEVEN
HOURS AGO
'SEEMED THE ONLY
THING TO DO
WAS HEAD OUT ON
THE OPEN ROAD
AND FIND ANYWHERE ELSE
I WOULDN'T FIND YOU
THROUGH THE WINDOW
OF THE ROOM
NEON FLASHES VACANCY
BRIGHTER THAN THE
QUARTER MOON
AND COLDER INSIDE THAN
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
WITH ALL THESE
MILES BEHIND ME
ALL THOSE REASONS WHY
FADE INTO MY MEMORY
THIS SIDE OF GOODBYE
THIS SIDE OF GOODBYE
SITTIN' ON A SINGLE BED
SILENT TELEVISION GLOWS
I'M LOOKIN' BACK
AND UP AHEAD AT
WHAT IT ALL WAS AND
WHERE IT ALL GOES
OH WHY'D WE HAVE
TO DRIFT APART
A LITTLE FURTHER
EVERY YEAR
AND WHY'D WE TAKE
A SMILE TO HEART
NOT NEARLY AS DEEP
AS ANY ONE TEAR
WITH ALL THESE
MILES BEHIND ME
ALL THOSE REASONS
WHY WHY WHY
FADE INTO MY MEMORY
THIS SIDE OF GOODBYE
THIS SIDE OF GOODBYE
REACHIN' OUT WAS
HARD SOMEHOW
FOR SO LONG
BUT EASY NOW
IF YOU WERE HERE
OR JUST PICKED
UP THE PHONE
ALL THESE MILES BEHIND ME
ALL THOSE REASONS
WHY WHY WHY
FADE INTO MY MEMORY
THIS SIDE OF GOODBYE
THIS SIDE OF GOODBYE
THIS SIDE OF GOODBYE
THIS SIDE OF GOODBYE
