nobody cries at the casket, the cradle, the bed
how many lovers all vanished in the shedding of time?
nobody counts all the bodies that held me, once mine?
nobody stands on the corner and waits for the rain
nobody dances in memory of all of the pain
how many lovers are waving from beyond the grave?
how many numbers are counted that nobody craves?
i cannot see you, i cannot feel you
i cannot reveal to you, i cannot expect you to stay
except in a picture i kept
i cannot feel you, except in the tears that i wept
i wave goodbye
i wave goodbye
nobody holds me the way that you once held me
nobody looks down and takes me inside her country
i see the lights, with you just a shadow at dawn
nobody holds me, there's nothing to ever hang on
i cannot see you, i cannot feel you
i cannot reveal to you, i cannot expect you to stay
except in a picture i kept
i cannot feel you, except in the tears that i wept
i wave goodbye
i wave goodbye
nobody listens, nobody needs to, or ever agrees to
nobody wants to play this way...
