A Cool Goodbye

lyrics

will i see you tonight
with the moon in your hair
your sad little smile
your poetic despair
will we meet on the freeway
under the sky
for a cool goodbye

there’s a crack in my voice
there’s a crack in my heart
the foundation is crumbling
i’m falling apart
and the cars on the freeway
are whistling by
like a cool goodbye

i’ve learned my lesson
i’ve been to school
you were the teacher
i was the fool

well how do you do it
baby what is your trick
you make it look easy
the kiss and the kick
a shrug of the shoulder
a wink of the eye
and a cool goodbye
