The American Buffalo - Parting Gifts (Goodbye, Sweet Lover) Lyrics




I wake in the afternoon
And realize I'm still lying in bed
I'm waiting for a call
To shake the sleep from my head

And though you've long disappeared
Into the dark of the last year
I thought I'd write you a song
Cause I know that you won't recognize me for long

I'll sing, Goodbye, Sweet Lover
Goodbye, Sweet Lover

I really tried to be good
But now I know there was no other way
This is my parting gift
The tune that says what I can't say

And what have you given to me
Except for everything I see
Except for the freedom I find
When I pick up my pen and I walk through my mind

Now say, Goodbye, Sweet Lover
Goodbye Sweet Lover

You know, I never really even learned
To stop and look in your eyes
And every time I think of you
I feel so sad and blue
But I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try to say

Goodbye, Sweet Lover
I hope I never hear your name
Cause when that phone starts ringing
I know I won't be feeling the same

I wake in the afternoon
And realize I'm still lying in bed
I'm waiting for a call
To shake the sleep from my head

And though you've long disappeared
Into the dark of the last year
I thought I'd write you a song
Cause I know that you won't recognize me for long

I'll sing, Goodbye, Sweet Lover
Goodbye, Sweet Lover

I really tried to be good
But now I know there was no other way
This is my parting gift
The tune that says what I can't say

And what have you given to me
Except for everything I see
Except for the freedom I find
When I pick up my pen and I walk through my mind

Now say, Goodbye, Sweet Lover
Goodbye Sweet Lover

You know, I never really even learned
To stop and look in your eyes
And every time I think of you
I feel so sad and blue
But I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try to say

Goodbye, Sweet Lover
I hope I never hear your name
Cause when that phone starts ringing
I know I won't be feeling the same
