I Am Goodbye - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

You are hello

A glowing cry

Heaven we go

Never say die

I’ll likely never know

The answer why

You are hello

I am goodbye

I am goodbye

Like the end of something wonderful sometimes

Like the way that a wound-up toy top unwinds

I am goodbye

I am goodbye

I am goodbye

Like a beast in the distance you can’t tell if fur or fowl

Like the last thing you see just before you hear the howl

I am goodbye

I am goodbye

Like the end of something wonderful sometimes

Like the absence that more and more crowds into my mind

I am goodbye

I am goodbye
