Goodbye

(patty griffin)
Occurred to me the other day
you been gone now a couple years
well i guess it takes a while
for someone to really disappear
and i remember where i was
when the word came about you
it was a day much like today
the sky was bright and wide and blue
And i wonder where you are
and if the pains ends when you die
and i wonder if there was
some better way to say good-bye
Today my heart is big and sore
it’s trying to put right through my skin
won’t see you anymore
i guess that’s finally sinking in
cause you can’t make somebody see
with the simple words you say
all their beauty from within
sometimes they just look away
And i wonder where you are
and if the pains ends when you die
and i wonder if there was
some better way to say good-bye
