Goodbye Slowly Songtext
von Mick Thomas

Down a driveway in a quiet street
A young man backs out cautiously
Checks his mirrors once or twice and flattens down his hair
Sounds his horn distractedly, no thought for what′s in front of him
Checks his mirror one more time and she's still standing there

Waving goodbye slowly
Waving goodbye slowly
As if her hands were magnets that could somehow drag him back to a
Time and place so long since gone that′s fallen through the cracks
That's fallen through the cracks

The road, it beckons angrily, impatiently, impossibly
Wild and high, his thoughts are flying, never to be spared

Somewhere there's a wider sky, a broader smile, a thinner truth
Check his mirrors any time and she′s still standing there


Waving goodbye slowly
Waving goodbye slowly
As if her hands were magnets that could somehow drag him back to a
Time and place so long since gone that′s fallen through the cracks
That's fallen through the cracks

The world was a wide one
The world was a wide one
The world was a wide one for you
The world was a wide one
The world was a wide one
The world was a wide one for you

Waving goodbye slowly
Waving goodbye slowly
As if her hands were magnets that could somehow drag him back to
A time and place so long since gone, fallen through the cracks
That′s fallen through the cracks
