Why Say Goodbye

Listen to your heart
Coz sometimes in life 
You gotta keep moving on


Coz it’s often easy to fall through 
To slip into that little trap 
It’s too easy to give up 
And say its all for the best


when the silences stretch longer
It’s too easy to give in to their demand
But sometimes love and friendship 
Just aren’t enough...


Watch the wind blowing
Over the still surface of a glassy lake
Learn from the stern countenance
Of the stone gargoyle that scowls
Disapprovingly from yon cathedral balcony


There’s a little corner in my mind
Fenced off and cared for
But I never go there much
Not if I can help it
Coz some things are best left alone
Coz some things do well by themselves


I opened my window
At midnight yesterday night
I freed this little dove
I watched her fly into the night sky
Carrying my prayer into the unknown


And then, when she was gone
And I was left alone
Alone in the dark
With the ticking of the clock
There was no one to hear
My quiet laugh escape my lips
