Velvet Voice - Goodbye Like A Tuesday

Empty chair across the table
Your shadow on the wall
I pour one for the silence
You never came at all
The ice in my glass is melting
Like the last of what we had.
I keep
Your side of the bench warm even though
I know you're gone for good
GOODBYE LIKE A TUESDAY
Like taking out the trash
Goodbye like a tuesday
A little hurt, a little pain, a little fast.
I said goodbye like a tuesday
And it hit me just the same
Not a storm, not a grand farewell
Just your name in the rain
The phone taps once in the saucer.
The clock leans on the wall.
I
Hear the house keep breathing
But it don't hold you at all
Your coat still on the back door
Your keys still in the bowl.
I
Fed the cat at 6:00 like
I was
Feeding a hole.
Goodbye like a tuesday
Like taking out the trash.
Goodbye like a tuesday
A little hurt, a little pain, a little fast.
I said goodbye like a tuesday
And it hit me just the same.
Not a
Storm, not a grand farewell
Just your name in the rain
I saw that crying pieces.
I thought
I'd scream your name, but
I just
Folded the mail up
And let the day be the same.
That's the cruelest kind of leaving.
It wears your
Face so mean.
You don't break
All at once, baby
You just go missing from the seat
Goodbye like a tuesday
Like taking out the trash.
Goodbye like a tuesday
A little hurt, a little plain, a little fast.
I said goodbye like a tuesday
And it hit me just the same.
Not a
Storm, not a grand farewell
Just your name in the rain
Into thin air across the table
Your shadow on the wall
I pour one for the silence.
You
Never came at all
The ice in my glass is melting
Like the last of what we had.
I keep
Your side of the bench warm even though
I know you're gone
FOR GOOD
GOODBYE LIKE A TUESDAY
Like taking out the trash
Goodbye like a tuesday
A little hurt, a little plain, a little fast.
I said goodbye like a tuesday
And it hit me just the same.
Not a
Storm, not a grand farewell
Just your name in the rain
The spoon taps once in the saucer.
The clock leans on the wall.
I
Hear the house keep breathing
But it don't hold you at all
Your coat's still on the back door
Your key's still in the bowl.
I
Fed the cat at 6:00 like
I was
Feeding a hole.
Goodbye like a tuesday
Like taking out the trash
Goodbye like a tuesday
A little hurt, a little plain, a little fast.
I said goodbye like a tuesday
And it hit me just the same.
Not
A storm, not a grand farewell
Just your name in the rain
