lyrics

You were the most beautiful in the hours after I told you I’d never return
Singing old songs around the kitchen table
Your voice, like butter melting
Lyrics of coffee and cigarettes
Like the one ashing between your fingers
Go on and sing of your heart as it falls to pieces

But I leave today
And I can feel the shakes run down my spine
Now I will know lonliness
All those things I’ll miss when we say goodbye

Put a red shade over the light
Turn the music low
Truth is a thing that we keep from eachother when we’re laying on the bedroom floor
We paint big pictures with big words, yet we say so little
But if you keep on singing, I’ll keep playing
You know music is the rhythm to my soul

But I leave today
And I can feel the shakes run down my spine
Now I will know lonliness
All those things I’ll miss when we say goodbye

Goodbye my baby blue
Take the red shade home with you
Goodbye my baby blue
Forget my name
It only brought pain to you

But I leave today
And I can feel the shakes run down my spine
Now I will know lonliness
All those things I’ll miss when we say goodbye
