When I say goodnight
I know you’ll be asleep forever
Away from me awake
Beside you empty body
And your empty words

Which is why it hurts
Like a never ending autumn
Where the leaves refuse to fall
And the birds refuse to sing

Oh I remember when it did begin
But how did it end like this?

Because
When I say goodnight
I know you’ll be asleep forever
Away from me awake
Beside you empty body
And your empty words

Prepare for landing
After the heavy fall for you
Where I know you wont catch me
Did you ever really try?

I taste a tear drop for the snow that’s here.
On bitter tongue of the real.

When I say goodnight
I know you’ll be asleep forever
Away from me awake
Beside you empty body
And your empty heart

Goodnight to summer.
And may the cold be by our sides
Where the sun refuses to smile
The heart will not sing for me

And yet you’ll never really leave this place.
Beside the sleeping flowers.

Because
When I say goodnight
I know you’ll be asleep forever
Away from me awake
Beside you empty body
And your empty words

I know you’ll sleep forever.
And I know you’ll sleep forever.
Away from me awake.
