Goodnight, Goodbye Songtext
von Averi

The lights are off
The wind blows the falling snow
It′s matched by the sound of your breath
And the tremor of your hands
As I'm seated by your bed
Attempting to find the right words to leave the room with

And I don′t know what I believe
As you clutch your rosary beads
All these years they laid out in an evening
With the opening of your eyes
All these things rush through my mind
But the only thing I can say is that which I'm certain

So sleep
If your tired eyes are closing
Don't be afraid anymore
Just sleep
If you′re tired of fighting
Just let it be peaceful tonight


And I′m sorry for all the times
I was selfish and unkind
All these years that I've had with you
And this is what I′m left with
With the closing of your eyes
All these things clog up my mind
But the only thing we had said was that which mattered most

So sleep
If your tired eyes are closing
Don't be afraid anymore
Just sleep
If you′re tired of fighting
Let it be peaceful tonight

Sleep well
Sleep well
Oh yeah
Sleep well
Goodnight, goodbye

With the lights still off
I study your frail body
That all these living days has left you with
With your breath across the room
And my hand upon the door
I realize then that the hardest part will always be leaving
Leaving


Sleep well
Sleep well
Sleep well
Goodnight, goodbye
Goodnight, goodbye
