Lyrics

Give my shoes to the dog
Leave my hair to the wind
And only smoke in the clothes I was standing in
Give my eyes to your face
Send my birds up the pole
Leave my kisses in the dust by the side of the road
Take the little lines that gather there
At the corners of my eyes
Take the laughter floating up the stairs
Every word except goodbye
Give my love to the lost
Sell my worries in pairs
Hide my hopes in the dark underneath the stairs
Give my arms to your waist
Oh, the luck of the toss
To bring this dance to the floor that you walk across
Take the little lines that gather there
At the corners of my eyes
Take the laughter floating up the stairs
And every word except
Say it with me now (Goodbye)
Say it with me now (Goodbye)
Say it with me
Say it with me
Say it with me now
Give my touch to your skin
Sell my memories for dimes
Break my pocket watch and spill out my time
Hang my heart in the trees
Scatter my name to the wind
And keep for yourself the thrill of my favorite sin
Take the little lines that gather there
At the corners of my eyes
Take the laughter floating up the stairs
Every word except goodbye
Take the last page in the secret book
All the telling, all the lies
Take the trembling, you can take the longing look
And every word except goodbye
