Say It Isn't So - Nanci Griffith

Skies are dark, it’s time for rain

Final call, you board the train

Heading for tomorrow

I wave goodbye to yesterdays

Wipe the tears, you hide your face

Blinded by the sorrow

How can I be smiling like before

When baby you don’t love me anymore

Say it isn’t so

Tell me you’re not leaving

Say you’re changed your mind now

That I am only dreaming

This is not goodbye

This is starting over

If you wanna know, I don’t wanna let go

So say it isn’t so

Ten to five, at least we’ve tried

We’re still alive but hope just died

As they closed the door behind you

Whistle blows and tons of steel

Shake the ground beneath the wheels

As I wish I’d never found you

How can I be smiling when you’re gone?

Will I be strong enough to carry on?

Say it isn’t so

Tell me you’re not leaving

Say you’ve changed your mind now

That I am only dreaming

This is not goodbye

This is starting over

Say I’m not wide awake

If you wanna know, I don’t wanna let go

So say it isn’t so

Miles and miles to go

Before I can say, before I can lay my love for you to sleep

Oh darling oh

I got miles and miles to go

Before anyone will ever hear me laugh again

Say it isn’t so

Tell me you’re not leaving

Say you’ve changed your mind now

That I am only dreaming

This is not goodbye

This is starting over

Say I’m not wide awake

If you wanna know, I don’t wanna let go

So say it isn’t so.

Say you’ve changed your mind now

That I am only dreaming

That this is not goodbye

This is starting over

Say I’m not wide awake

If you wanna know, I don’t wanna let go

So say it isn’t so

If you wanna know, I don’t wanna let go

So say it isn’t so
