Long Goodbye

from 50​-​Weight by Kelly Pardekooper

lyrics

Two hours and I’m drinking, I could not find my phone
I’m sorry, I’ve taken us too far out now to get back home
But it’s so pretty out here after midnight below these bourbon skies
Feel it coming, please take me there gently into our long goodbye

Where’s our house, where’s our child, where’s that yard, where’s our little picket fence?
When I’m gone, and you’re there all alone, do you notice the difference?
I come home late, Lord I sleep all day long and you’re never touchin’ me
Could you deny as you look past my eye that we’re half of what we used to be?

And I’m still on these county roads, looking for faces and stories untold
I know you may never understand that I’ll never go back again

Come Monday and I’m lonely, our cupboards cleaned out bare
I can smell you in the bedroom, pretend that I don’t care
But it’s so pretty out here after midnight below these bourbon skies
Feel it coming, please take me there gently into our long goodbye..
