Goodbye Again - Dave Alvin, Rosie Flores

Her:

Goodbye was the last word

You said to me

Him:

That was so long ago

Would you forgive me, please?

Her:

Did you get my letters?

Read them at all?

Him:

You know I’m no good at writing

But, I’ve been meaning to call

Her:

I saw your new love

She looks a little like me

Him:

She looks like an angel

If that’s what you mean

But we’ve had some troubles

And, I’ve been thinking of you

Her:

Well, if you’re asking to come back

Tell me what will you do?

Will you say goodbye again?

Goodbye again?

Do you really want me?

Or do you just need a friend?

My arms long to hold you

Feel the warmth of your skin

But it would hurt me too much

To hear goodbye again

Him:

Well, I promise that this time

My love will be true

Baby, I promise I’ll always

To be here just for you

Her:

I want to believe it

I wish I could try

But the last word you tell me

Is always goodbye

Him:

Goodbye was the last word

She said to me
