I'd Like To Say Goodbye
(The Lost Recordings)

I’d like to say goodbye

You can’t really say goodbye to those kinds of things

You carry them with you wherever you go

Like ducks in the snow

That quack as they go

The wind blows back

Discarded trash

I’d like to say goodbye

I feel that I must say goodbye to everyone

Though I love them so

I love them all

I feel if I said goodbye to them

I could say goodbye to a me I do not like

A horrible nasty me

That I despise

I’d like to say goodbye

I feel that I must say goodbye to dreams

Empty and hollow though charming they be

I feel I must say goodbye it seems

Maybe I could just sneak out the back door

Or say “See ya later!”

And just never come back

But you can’t really say goodbye to those kinds of things

You carry them with you wherever you go

Like ducks in the snow

That quack as they go

The wind blows back

Discarded trash
