fare thee well my bright star i watched your taillights blaze into nothingness but you were long gone before I ever got to you before you blazed past this address
and now I think of having loved and having lost but never know what it feels like to never love who can say what's better when my heart's become the cost a mere token of a brighter jewel sent from above
fare thee well my bright star the vanity of youth the color of your eyes and maybe if i'd fanned the blazing fire of your day-to-day or if i'd been older i'd been wise
Yesterday I woke up With your head on my arm My hand was numb Circulation gone But I dared not move the pretty sleeping one
The sun had painted Patterns on your face As you breathed Sunday air You rolled onto My open arm I became your pillow; you let smooth your hair
I will sing you morning lullabies You are beautiful and peaceful this way I know you have to close your eyes on everyone Let me help you, I'll sing you to sleep With morning lullabies
Let me lie in the curl Of your body tonight And I will hear you tumble into sleep I will watch you heal, watch you *heal* with me
I will sing you morning lullabies You are beautiful and peaceful this way I know you have to close your eyes on everyone Let me help you, sing you sleep With morning lullabies
I know you have to close Your eyes on everyone Let me help you I'll sing you to sleep With morning lulla-bye, bye, baby Close your eyes and I will sing you Morning lullabies And I will sing you Morning lullabies
Your fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind Images You sang me Spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Clever trick
Well I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me
[Chorus] Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me Images And when you left, you kissed my lips You told me you would never, never forget These images
Well I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me
[Chorus] Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean I cannot drive the streets at night I cannot wake up in the morning Without you on my mind So you're gone and I'm haunted And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that Easy to walk right in and out Of my life?
[Chorus] Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do
