Lyrics

BIG GOODBYE

Diesel engines are idling
While I’m
Hiding in my bed

Trying to blame this
pain here in my head
Instead

I’m hearing
Farewell voices
Moses’ hope in their refrain
You keep in touch
I’ll try to do the same

But it will take a few
Twists of fate
To see this place again

Heed the thunder’s warning
Clouds fill up my eyes eyes
Can’t hide from the storm
Inside the big goodbye

Is this OK to say you’ll
Soon be moving on?
Time to climb that hill you’ll die upon

With all problems solved, Absolved
Dissolve and fall away
From shaking hands wrung wet With what to say

Your light reflects on
What comes next
Is dawn part of your day?






We’re falling more than fleeing
We leap before we lie
In these holes we’re digging
It’s the big goodbye

Please pardon me, darling
I won’t be coming home
We’ll leave it there and
I’ll leave you alone

But ain’t it better
Now’s forever in the past
Guess I’ll go first
It hurts more when you’re last

But don’t erase this
Time and place
We’ll feel this grace again

Daddy’s off to meet some Truth he can’t deny
It might look like freedom
But it’s the big goodbye
