Goodbye

Such extremes to which we're driven
In this finite world we're given
Dreams of love and its frustrations
On fading radio stations

As you cry on my shoulder
Over your shoulder I watch the clock
     Tick tock
Time to say goodbye, I say
Goodbye

Don't molder me old
Blue-green bread in a box
Disappear me in smoke
Some flash magic trick

Summer sex in the attic
And after we rest
I breathe a cool breath
Cross the sweat on your chest

As you rest on my shoulder
I watch your chest rise and fall
     Rise and fall
Time enough to say goodbye, I say
Time enough for now
