Lonely Long Goodbye

[Verse 1]
The dogwood started blooming
I've watched the afternoon shadows dance on every wall in this house
It's been three Februarys
And nothing really changes but how the sun goes up and down

[Pre-Chorus]
I get through days just fine
But all the nights go by

[Chorus]
Like a long slow sigh
I breathe you in and out of this heart of mine
Has every tear been cried?
There's nothing left but time and watching it go by
Will I be letting go of you for the rest of my life?

[Verse 2]
You might be the one I don't recover from
An ache I carry 'til I'm gone
'Cause you keep sticking 'round in the attic of my mind
Dreams of you keep knocking at my door

[Pre-Chorus]
There's nowhere I can hide
Your memory's close behind

[Chorus]
Like a long slow sigh
I breathe you in and out of this heart of mine
Has every tear been cried?
There's nothing left but time and watching it go by
Will I be letting go of you for the rest of my life?

[Bridge]
It's a dull knife twisting inside
It's a lonely long goodbye

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
It's a long slow sigh
I breathe you in and out of this heart of mine
Has every tear been cried?
There's nothing left but time and watching it go by
Will I be letting go of you for the rest of my life?
