Big Goodbye

Big low porch
On an old white house
Look north toward the city
Look north look out

Lift your chin up off the ground
You’ve got to live while you’re around

Reaching for it
Break up with the past
You’re a sad little girl
So sad for yourself

Another day come and gone
I think it’s time to move along

Now it’s too bad
Can’t stay long
Too soon the day is gone
Too strong the drink we had
Too hard to see you’ve gone

You’re my big goodbye
You’re my big goodbye
I reach up high but I can’t see beyond
You’re my big goodbye

Can’t imagine
Life without you
But sometime soon
I know I’ll have to

If we’re both here for a little while
Let’s get together one more time

Now it’s too bad
Can’t stay long
Too soon the day is gone
Too strong the drink we had
Too hard to see you’ve gone

You’re my big goodbye
You’re my big goodbye
I reach up high but I can’t see beyond
You’re my big goodbye

It’s too big a question for my tiny mind
Where we end up when we finally move on
I reach up high but I can’t see beyond
I’ll keep looking for my spirit in the sky
