Lyrics

I thought long and hard of a moral delimma
And inbetween our discussions, I made my decision.
When you started to speak, I looked to the sky.
And as you walked away I heard you whisper, "Goodbye".

I walked down the road and I met many strangers:
A man in pleated gold boots and blue fadded Wranglers,
A girl with blue hair and dark grey, sightless eyes.
And as you walked away I heard you whisper, "Goodbye".

She stood next to me and she planted a kiss
On my windworn cheek and my chapped, bloody lips.
When I opened my eyes she was gone, out of site.
And as you walked away I heard you whisper, "Goodbye".

A wise man once told me the world would end
Unless we all succumb fighting, join hands and be friends.
Because we're all the same person, all and all, by and by.
And as you walked away I heard you whisper, "Goodbye".

I remember too well the day that we fought.
The day that we finally found what we sought.
It began when we awoke and it ended when we died.
And as you walked away I heard you whisper, "Goodbye".

I scraped up my knees and I tore up my clothes
On the road to the country where anything goes,
On the road to the country where i traveled to hide.
And as you walked away I heard you whisper, "Goodbye".
