Velvet Voice Blues - 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 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 screaming
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 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
I thought
I'd cry in 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 coolest kind of leaving
It wears your face on me
You don't break all at once, baby
You just go missing from the scene
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
And singing] farewell
Just your name in the rain
