Goodbye, Where'd You Go?

[lyrycsyntyme]

theres fireworks inside
but the sky is clear
i can see everything
is empty, from here

theres letters for you
folded but unsent
going no where again
just saving the stamp

i called you on the phone
to hear your voice
hard to tell you've been aging
when i hear the machine

i look at photographs
like everyone else
leave my share of fingerprints
when i'm thinking slow

because these memories have to last forever
or at least till i'm done being old
if i ever make it i need to say
goodbye, where'd you go?

i've grown alot, you know
you might not care to
but you might be amazed
and want to see where this goes

scenes scented across the porch on dafodills like in your hair
reminds me of my feelings
and how they are always new

because these memories have to last forever
or at least till i'm done being old
if i ever make it i need to say
goodbye, where'd you go?

so all these memories have to last forever
or at least till i'm done being old
if i ever make it i need to say
goodbye, where'd you go?

you had alot to do
you contained alot in you
cities that you've walked
for me not a knock on the door

you had alot to do
you shared alot too
hours up on the phone
for me not a call crossed your thoughts

though you crossed your heart
that hurts me most of all

cause i know memories have to last forever
or at least till we're done being old
if you ever make it will you have to say
goodness, where'd you go?

because these memories have to last forever
or at least till i'm done being old
if i ever make it i need to say
goodbye, where'd you go?

goodbye, where'd you go?
goodbye, where'd you go?

and all these memories have to last forever
goodbye, where'd you go?
if i ever make it i need to say
goodbye, where'd you go?

They stick in my mind

i like the poem

Welcome to Poetic Horizons!!!

I sure hope you've music to go with this .... this is a solid poem/lyric.

Your refrain is very catchy and the message easy to relate to .... most anyone could put themselves inside these lyrics and feel a connection to it. To me, as far as lyrics/a song goes, you have to be able to think of yourself as the one singing it.

I am not a musician at all, so I can't give musical suggestions ... I just know it needs to be put to music.

BTW ... we have a Audio Board ... Poetic Horizons Live .... so if you already have this recorded I'd love to hear it.

Thanks so much for posting...
