Is This Any Way For Us To Say Goodbye

There were times we talked for hours

Of our love while summer flowers

Blossomed just outside the window where we lay.

Words of love came easy as the gentle evening breezes

Whispered that our love had lived another day.

Now the room is filled with hushes

As you move your silver brushes

From the dresser to the suitcase on the bed.

A stony wall of silence

Separates us into islands

Filled with echoes of the angry words we said.

It was just a lover’s quarrel

And it just got out of hand

The fury of a woman

Met the anger of a man

We spoke the two so bitterly that it turned into a lie

Is this any way for us to say goodbye?

We each demanded justice

Now the outline of the dusk

Is all that’s left where once your ivory mirror lay

Both hell bent for survival

Of our pride, love cannot rival

When the battle ends will anything be saved?

It was just a lover’s quarrel

And it just got out of hand

The fury of a woman

Met the anger of a man

We spoke the two so bitterly that it turned into a lie

Is this any way for us to say goodbye?

Is this anyway for us to say goodbye?
