A Long Goodbye

I've lost count of all the days

I've been watchin' you forget

I felt tangled up and hopeless

But it hasn't killed me yet

I've been tryin' to remember all your memories

But I can't pretend

That it's hard to be a mother to my mother

But it's like you always said

That it's hard to be a mother to my mother

But it's like you always said

It's a long goodbye

It ain't so bad

A long goodbye

Is like a breath

You've got to wrap yourself inside

All the goodness that you've had

Wrap yourself inside

All the goodness that you've had

A long goodbye

It ain't the end

I've seen you standin' in a room

Wonderin' what's inside your head

In a moment that existed in a time

That's long been spent

I'm gonna wrap my arms around the days

That you and I have left

'Cause it's hard to be a mother to my mother

But it's like you always said

That it's hard to be a mother to my mother

But it's like you always said

It's a long goodbye

It ain't so bad

A long goodbye

Is like a breath

You've got to wrap yourself inside

All the goodness that you've had

Wrap yourself inside

All the goodness that you've had

A long goodbye

It ain't the end

A long goodbye

It ain't so bad

A long goodbye

Is like a breath

You've got to wrap yourself inside

All the goodness that you've had

Wrap yourself inside

All the goodness that you've had

A long goodbye

It ain't the end

A long goodbye

It ain't the end
