The Good in Goodbye Songtext
von Cerys Matthews

You took the wind from my sails, left me there to drift away
I woke up in the morning stripped of everything
Oh, sweet Lord, it′s time we moved along
Tonight I'll put the good back in goodbye, come on

If the boat don′t float and she don't go
This girl's gonna blow the morning
I′ll turn and face the cold, cold sea and will this ship around
And I′ll swallow welcome tears of broken promises, yeah

But the calm prevailed, no whistle to her name
And I could see whose name was on your mind
Oh, I heard sighs of a million muted turncoats at attention
And tonight I'll put the good back in goodbye


And if the boat don′t float and she don't go
This vessel′s gonna blow the morning
I'll turn and face the cold, cold sea and will this ship around
And swallow welcome tears of broken promises

And what freedom owes the devil, to the devil I′ll be due
I'll walk right down to Hell before I fall in love with you
Oh, I'll take this broken heart of mine and pin it to the floor
And I′ll petrify the good back in goodbye

If the boat don′t float and she don't go
This vessel′s gonna blow the morning
I'll turn and face the cold, cold sea and will this ship around
And I′ll swallow welcome tears of broken promises

Oh, the boat don't float
And this vessel′s gonna blow the morning
I'll turn and face the cold, cold sea and will this ship around
And tonight I'll put the good in goodbye

Oh, y′all
Oh, y′all
