lyrics
What you see in those eyes
Like a long slow goodbye
Neither now nor tonight
That's not even a lie
They're not even pretending
Maybe I can do higher
Silver top and blue skies
Maybe I'm simply tired
Of that living of mine
Hidden longings and cravings
When I asked why
You said, goodbye
I don't know how
You've managed to take it
You said, goodbye
And that's all right
Just don't know how
I could have been mistaken
What you see in those eyes
Like an upside down sky
So ominously dry
That's not even a try
They're not, not even faking
In the time of my dying
Stay away stay alive
One day I will arise
But that's still not tonight
Now it's time to go face it
When I asked why
You said, goodbye
I don't know how
You've managed to take it
You said, bye bye
And that's all right
Just don't know how
I could have been mistaken
You go, I go
You go, I go
You go, I go
You go, I go
You go, I go
You go, I go
You go, I go
What you see in those eyes
Like a long slow goodbye
So ominously dry
That's not even a lie
They're not even pretending
In the time of my dying
Stay away stay alive
One day I will arise
But that's still not tonight
Now it's time to go face it
