Goodbye

Matt Caplan


And I feel them closing in 
Setting war against the battleground 
Both armies crowned 22 years ago 
But the blood they spill is mine 
Spilling out like so much motor oil 
Into my ocean, into your ocean 
Eyes to the sky 
White flag raised high 
Then I turn to find your light 
Infinite in warmth and infinite in wisdom 
Im endlessly in search of a sign thats believable 
But oh Lord, save me from the fear 
Im blinded by its sight 
But Ill find thee when its light 
How we turned I dont know 
And were still awake to greet the gray 
When Saturday slips slowly into the past 
Are we wise beyond our years or just old before our time? 
And does she see it? 
I think she sees it 
Where did she go? 
What dont I know? 
Then I turn to find her eyes 
Infinite in warmth and infinite in pain and so wise 
And endlessly in search of a love that is tangible 
But oh Lord, save her from the fear 
I think shes deafened by the fight 
But I only said goodnight 
Im taking more than youve got 
I know, I know 
You know, you know your own mind 
This is taking more than I have 
You know, you know 
I know, I know my own heart now 
Infinite in love 
And we are endlessly in search of an ending thats feasible 
But oh Lord, why the urgent aching? 
Why the urge to cry? 
Can I muster up goodbye?
