The Letter Said

He sits alone in the room
Scrapes his chair across the wooden floor
She stands at the top of the stairs
Dropping colorful letters into boxes
That he hauls out the door
Goodbye, Goodbye
The letters said, goodbye
Why, why, why, why,
Couldn’t you just tell him goodbye
Like a lost boy he walks out the door
To the morning and the laughing crows
His mind, thoughts so automatic
He fears, he’s in the losing love throes
The snow falling
on the top of that big hill
if he can deliver his message
Directly to you he will
He’ll find some other place
He’ll seek some other space
where he can feel be safe,
to close his eyes and say
Goodbye, Goodbye
The letters said, goodbye
Why, why, why, why,
Couldn’t you just tell him goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
The crows are laughing, goodbye
Why, why, why, why
Couldn’t he just tell you goodbye
