Lyrics Goodbye - Mick Flannery

Goodbye

I lay in your arms
In the room where you had borne the scars
It was late at night
And the city lay asleep outside
And the moon was in your hair
And it all was so unfair
Or was it dear?
I said I’m leaving soon
I must go and do what I must do
You said you’d understand
But I really don’t see how you can
When I said I’d make the time
And tomorrow I’d call by
That was a lie
I’m no ladies' man
And I never will be one of them
I didn’t steal from you
And what happened here was nothing new
Not to make it all sound vain
You lay the man, you lay his name
But lay no claim
I can’t explain no more
Ah girl come on, you knew before
Before you took me home
I can only work if I’m alone
And when I said goodnight tonight
When I said goodnight tonight
That meant goodbye
