The Long Goodbye - Sarah McLachlan
Catch a star as it falls
And hold it in your hand
Feel the heat still it burns
Searing embers of your glorious sun
Oh this is painful
This endless aching need
The very thing I long for
Is what brings me to my knees
You walked in to my world
Won me over caught me so off guard
But I gave in to the wonder
To the poetry of our souls set fire
And oh it was beautiful
Our tender hearts entwined
And I thought we could conquer
Any mountains we would climb
And now I'm waiting on the light
To ease the fury of this one desire
I'm trying to be patient
I'm trying to stay high
I'm trying to find the wisdom
In this long goodbye
Stop the world
Stop the noise I've heard enough
My head is spinning round
Give me more than words to feed me
Truth I can believe in
Give me solid ground
But our days are measured
In fraying threads of gold
Every day unraveling
Till there's nothing left to hold
Now I'm still waiting on the light
To ease the fury of this losing fight
I'm trying to forgive you
To hold my head up high
I'm trying to find the wisdom
In this long goodbye
I gave my love gave it all
But in the end
It didn't change a thing
You can't love a man out of his fate
Can't tame a head and heart
So out of sync
But oh I am grateful
This will not bring me down
The tides are always gonna turn
And come on back around
