Strange Goodbye

Frank Black


I used to walk in a big black cloud
You took my hand and you led me out
A nest of demons
Bled on my chest
You picked me up and you layed them to rest
Its a pain to be sure
We were aiming so high its so strange to be saying goodbye
We saw the world from an automobile
Saw the best views over ten thousand meals
Funny how an evening turns into years
Funny how were laughing through all of these tears
It's a pain to be sure
We sure gave it a try
It's a shame to be sayin goodbye
Oh my darlin should we have one more dance
A prayer to the rain gods to give one more chance
The water will cleanse as we spin on the plain
Take us to the ocean to find love again
Its a pain to be sure
We were aiming so high
It's so strange to be sayin goodbye
It's a pain that endures
We sure gave it a try
It's so strange to be saying goodbye
