The Last Goodbye -- the lyrics version

The Last Goodbye ----- the lyrics

You stand at the porch door,
back from the stream,
barefoot on pine floors
from midnight's bad dream.

Your cold stare cuts through me
like Death's frozen shards
and livin' ain't easy
when fate folds the cards.

chorus
I still see you standing
outside the screen door
a misunderstanding
like all those before.

You glared at me madly
a storm comin' round'
rage shook you badly
on cold muddy ground.

The sky's growing darker
rain pourin' down
your grave has a marker
says you had drown.

chorus
I still see you standing
a ghost from before
a misunderstanding
like all those before.

A runaway train
into the unknown
they said you were vain
a heart like a stone.

Found by a search team
dead and alone
fell in the back stream
your head hit a stone.

chorus
I still see you standing
outside the screen door
a misunderstanding
like all those before.

A misunderstanding
like all those before

A misunderstanding
like all those before
