See the sleet that rests upon The quiet street we're standing on Is it time to go away And try again some other day? 'Cause these are words we use to say goodbye These are the words you use to say goodbye Bones crack, curtains drawn On my back and she is gone Somewhere else I do not know Time will tell and I will go These are the words we use to say goodbye These are the words we use to say goodbye I will wait and take a turn Sort it out, let it burn Empty out empty drawer In my pockets, there's nothing more These are the words you use to say goodbye These are the words we use to say goodbye
