Thirteen mile goodbye

Thirteen mile goodbye Lyrics

The sign said"Sayanara"
On the Japanese restaurant
The billboard said there's no tomorrow
In the Christ Church parkin' lot
The Laundromat says
You're all washed up how can I disagree
And the streetlight flashed it's time to walk
Did everybody know but me.

She must have gone to a lot of trouble
I got the truth right between the eyes
Don't know how she found the time
But between her door and mine
Was a thirteen mile goodbye.

Now this can't be paranoia,
It's just coincidence
That the Place Theater on the corner's
Playin' "Gone With The Wind"
And there's one more grim reminder
Every twenty feet
How come I never noticed
This is a dead end street.

She must have gone to a lot of trouble
I got the truth right between the eyes
Don't know how she found the time
But between her door and mine
Was a thirteen mile goodbye.

I see the Y in the YMCA
But I've been askin' myself that all day
She put a closed sign on every door
Just to prove the point if I wasn't sure.

She must have gone to a lot of trouble
I got the truth right between the eyes
Don't know how she found the time
But between her door and mine
Was a thirteen mile goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye...
