something beautiful to say

Dave Barnes

I wish I had something beautiful to say,
But somehow silence takes that place.
So it's done with you pressed up against my chest,
I stay here, you head west.
Goodbye is like moving a mountain,
Just to see what's on the other side.
But there I know you'll find.
Right where you belong.
This city always seemed to break your heart,
You fought fierce but your friends always fell apart.
Dusk falls and you're halfway there by now,
And all that's left is your lipstick on my brow.
Goodbye is like moving a mountain,
Just to see what's on the other side.
But there I know you'll find.
Right where you belong.
