How many times
Have I read farewell lines
In the things
That you never seemed to say
How many times
Have I read those last lines
And wondered why it ended this way
Words of goodbye
And all those loving lines
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed
With the passing of time
How you would write
About the bright lights
And your words
Always clouded up my eyes
How you would write
About the bright lights
It's a wonder
That I never realized
Our race was run
Now another's just begun
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed
With the passing of time
When your letters stopped
The tears that I fought
How they came
In the flood of memories
When your letters stopped
The tears that I fought
How they ran
Like the rivers to the seas
Each sunny day
You slip further away
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed
With the passing of time
