Goodbye
Goodbye words you speak, tears along my cheek
The train's sad whistle calling that you must go
Oh my breaking heart, now knowing we must part
How will my world keep turning when your gone
Do we have the right to send young men to fight
Far away on another country's sovereign land
I want you here, to keep you safe and near
To be my safe harbor in this life and time
I'm not alone, other loved ones in our home
But there will be an emptiness is your place
For just this little while, I will try to smile
If fate decrees, the last time my face you see
