Goodbye Catherine

I was the briar and she was the rose But winter came and our love froze The more that we tried, the more we died Well she didn’t wanna’ feel all cooped up anymore So she packed up her stuff and walked out the door She got in her convertible and headed to the east coast She wanted to see the world and make more of the most A year later, I talked to her on the telephone She told me she was engaged to a good man from Madrid That she loved him and it was the best thing she ever did But it was hard leaving me abruptly on my own So I held back my sadness and said this to the phone: Even though I've been feelin' crappy, I'm so glad that you’re happy I guess our love was never meant to be, on that I guess we can agree When tears begin to fall and it’s hard to take it all in Just remember his love and where you have been When the waves are strong and you’re lost in the ocean Don’t get all sad and blue, remember that he loves you When November dies and December does too I’ll still be right here thinking of you When tears begin to fall and it’s hard to take it all in Just remember our love and where we have been Wipe your eyes and pick up your chin, I’m always here to listen When it’s hard to take it all in and your tears start fallin’ Baby I’m always here to support your callin’ Wipe your eyes and pick up your chin I’m here for you and I always have been Goodbye my dear, sweet Catherine…
