Goodbye Again

[Verse 1]
Every night she sleeps alone
And by the bed she puts the phone
And every morning after that
She takes the phone and puts it back
Cause he's got a wife back home
Three kids up and grown
These are things that go unsaid
You'll be calling from the road
Just in time to say hello
And goodbye again

[Verse 2]
She keeps his picture tucked away
She thinks she'll have it framed one day
And maybe he'll come see it there
Hanging by her rocking chair
In a corner of thе room
On a Sunday afternoon
When all the world is dull and gray
Shе 'll close her eyes and sit
Rocking gently for a bit till all the bad thoughts go away

[Verse 3]
Back when children played their games
London bridge and Jesse James
She captured flags, she bounced the ball
And every time she beat them all
And now she comes home to a cat
In a three room walk up flat
And plays a game of solitaire
Well she made a fist last night
And broke the hallway light
And the pieces scattered everywhere

Cause he's got a wife back home
Three kids up and grown
These are things that go unsaid
You'll be calling from the road
Just in time to say hello
And goodbye again
