Lyrics The Wailin' Jennys

The Wailin' Jennys

Last Goodbye

I hear the wrecking ball

sure on the path, no thought for the old

But the fault lines were there so how much should we care

we’re broken in two from the day we are born

But you’ll not hear any more of this said

You’re singing a song that’s been stuck in your head

You say, I’ll tell you how we’ll both make it through to the end

And then you will see that I love you

you’ll rest with me all our nights

You say, I know a place where your heart can be safe

and you’ve said your last goodbye

I hear every word that you say

taking it in like an old fairy tale

Through for better or worse and the promise of verse

you make it seem real, like its all here to stay

But see how the wind it blows, all the birds scatter

and I’m out here alone

You say I know your favourite song and I’ll sing you back home

And then you will see that I love you

you’ll rest with me all our nights

You say I know a place where your heart can be safe

and you’ve said your last goodbye

So let it come down

let it come

And then you will see that I love you

you’ll rest with me all our nights

I know a place where your heart can be safe

and you’ve said your last goodbye
