Lyrics Goodbye Again - Dave Alvin, Rosie Flores

Goodbye Again

Her:
Goodbye was the last word
You said to me
Him:
That was so long ago
Would you forgive me, please?
Her:
Did you get my letters?
Read them at all?
Him:
You know I’m no good at writing
But, I’ve been meaning to call
Her:
I saw your new love
She looks a little like me
Him:
She looks like an angel
If that’s what you mean
But we’ve had some troubles
And, I’ve been thinking of you
Her:
Well, if you’re asking to come back
Tell me what will you do?
Will you say goodbye again?
Goodbye again?
Do you really want me?
Or do you just need a friend?
My arms long to hold you
Feel the warmth of your skin
But it would hurt me too much
To hear goodbye again
Him:
Well, I promise that this time
My love will be true
Baby, I promise I’ll always
To be here just for you
Her:
I want to believe it
I wish I could try
But the last word you tell me
Is always goodbye
Him:
Goodbye was the last word
She said to me
