goodbye baby blue

 

1. natalie is looking over the garden fence

into our garden where it ends

where my tree house is suspended from the pinewood tree

she’s come to look at me

and i have wished away all day

i lined up pine cones on my bed

in my dreams

 

in my desire to be strong

i can feel something is wrong

with the way she looks at me

with the way she looks at me

and i’ve told better lies

something’s changed in my eyes

 

2. ruth is a strange creature, she looks so insecure

and her smiles quickly evaporate

like they were never there

she makes you feel slightly uncomfortable

the way she’s hardly present

 

goodbye

goodbye baby blue

goodbye

 

3. she knows the hill very well

she knows it best when the cornfields are rich

it promises mountains, tells tales of the shore

it makes you long for more

 

it has been there for a long, long time

it must have more than meets the eye

silently, we wonder why

 

goodbye

goodbye baby blue

goodbye

 

4. i met a bear on a leash you cannot see

and he touched my hand as he spoke to me

yes he lowered his voice when he said to me

that this place is not where he wants to be

 

goodbye

goodbye baby blue

goodbye

goodbye baby blue

goodbye

goodbye

goodbye

goodbye
