Lyrics
If love were the mist of the morning,
That melts in the afternoon sky,
I’d sift through the ashen remains of my memory
And kiss you, then whisper goodbye
But memories can be like the water
In a river that’s better off dry,
Or the strain of refrains that linger and echo
And laugh at a whispered goodbye.
So much I have had I’ve abandoned
So many I’ve known I let go,
But regret over you is the companion
In whatever is left of my soul.
If loneliness lasted a moment
Like a sad little song rolling by,
I’d slip from the grasp of the past
And forget you, with only a whispered goodbye.
With only a whispered goodbye.
