Goodbye is about leaving home, and being home in the wind. It is a feeling captured within the experience of having a dream, and having no choice but to leave the people you love behind in order to catch it. One day you realize the goodbye you said was only a spoken word. You never said goodbye with your heart and soul, because your loved ones with you everywhere you go. And such is love.
lyrics
Traveling down this lonesome road
Got the peddle to the metal and I can't let go
Of the people who mean the world to me
Every time i leave ole' mom and dad
I can't help feeling a little sad
Someday I'll only see them in a dream
And someday, I'll only see you in a dream
Time keeps taking me away
This life takes a little more of me everyday
With the wind I'm gone again, and home just the same
Learning goodbye is only a word people say
No matter where I am, no matter what I do
Where I go, or what I'm going through
You'll find the people I love just beneath the surface of me
I wish you could take a walk inside my mind
Come back and tell if I'm wrong or right
But right now is right where I want to be
Oh yeah, right now, is right where I want to be
And time keeps taking me away
This life takes a little more of me everyday
With the wind I'm gone again, and home just the same
Learning goodbye is only a word people say
When I'm gone
Please don't put me in a shallow grave
Burn my body down
Let the wind carry me away
Home I will be
With you I will stay
When time comes to let me be
Goodbye we will never say
But for now time keeps taking me away
This life takes a little more of me everyday
With the wind I'm gone again, and home just the same
Learning goodbye is only a word people say
Goodbye is only a word people say
