Farewell and goodnightgoodnight to every little hour that you sleep tite
may it hold you through the winter of a long night
and keep you from the loneliness of yourself
heart strung is your heart frayed and empty
cause it’s hard luck, when no one understands your love
it’s unsung and I say
goodnight my love to every hour in every day
goodnight always to all that’s pure that’s in your heartgoodnight, may your dream be so happy and your head lite
with the wishes of a sandman and a night light
be careful not to let the bedbugs sleep tight nestled in your covers
the sun shines but I don’t
a silver rain will wash away
the sun shines but I don’t
a silver rain will wash away
and you can’t tell, it’s just as well
and you can’t tell, it’s just as well
goodnight my love to every hour in every day
goodnight always to all that’s pure that’s in your heartI fear that I am ordinary just like everyone
to lie here and die among the sorrows
adrift among the days
for everything i ever said
and everything i’ve ever done is gone and dead
as all things must surely have to end
and great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am meant for this world
my life has been extraordinary
blessed and cursed and won
time heals but I'm forever broken
by and by the way...
have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in this song?
It’s for the girl i’ve loved all along
can a taste of love be so wrong
as all things must surely have to endand great loves will one day have to part
i know that i am meant for this world
and in my mind as i was floating
far above the clouds
some children laughed i’d fall for certain
for thinking that i’d last forever
but i knew exactly where i was
and i knew the meaning of it all
and i knew the distance of the sun
and i knew the echo that is love
and i knew the secrets in your spires
and i knew the emptiness of youth
and i knew the solitude of heart
and i knew the murmurs of the soul
and the world is drawn into your hands
and the world is etched upon your heart
and the world so hard to understand
is the world you can’t live without
and i knew the silence of the world
and i knew the silence of the world
and i knew the silence of the world
and i knew the silence of the world
and i knew the silence of the world
