Long goodbyes

Standing, on the other side of lonely
looking in
waiting,like a becalmed sailor
for the wind
looking, for a reason not to shed
another tear
feeling, like a paper doll tossed
by the wind

But those long goodbyes
keep taking our time
bring forth all your tears
those long goodbyes
straining our two lives
desperately clutching the years

Talking, to help myself remember
who I am
journeys, a thousand miles out and back
I've been
discovering , what a loss and what a fool
I've been
hoping ,for redemption and another
invite in

but those long goodbyes
keep taking up our time
bring forth all your tears
those long goodbyes
straining our lives
desperately clutching the years   x2

Seeing, you standing in my doorway
once again
knowing,that this is exactly where
you should have been
touching,softly kissing the one
I have missed
loving, for forever it's always
where we've been

But those long goodbyes
keep taking our time
bring forth all your tears
those long goodbyes
straining our lives
desperately clutching the years    x2
