The Longest Goodbye

The longest goodbye I'm a beam of moonshine i cast my shadow long at night the gloaming and i sail this ship that's capsized by the morning light just before the twilight dies it gives birth to the mourning blue i look into its weeping eyes and the only thing i see is you the world is shining green and gold this youthful moments growing old can anyone repair the dawn? it broke over my eastern lawn somewhere the moon is always setting free-falling toward its ever moving throne it's confused by the dreams it's getting the past left the future alone so every night around THAT time i'm outside staring at the sky visually i recite a rhyme a waving hand, the longest goodbye
