We Only Say Goodbye

Fates Warning

today was the end of a dream

as I watched your shadow disappear

another moment for the memory

as we lose another year



thought I heard You call my name

but YOU only said goodbye



always somewhere we only say goodbye

going nowhere

we only say goodbye

there's never time to say

all the things we need to say

when it's too late

we can only say goodbye



tonight I felt your presence again

as we shared the sorrow we've always known

but I heard the distance in your voice

and I knew I was alone



tried to tell YOU my deepest thoughts

but I only said goodbye



always somewhere we only say goodbye

going nowhere

we only say goodbye

there's never time to say

all the things we need to say

when it's too late

we can only say goodbye



across the miles

both of us reaching we try

but it's so hard to touch

when we only say goodbye



always somewhere

we only say goodbye

going nowhere

we only say goodbye

there's never time to say

all the things we need to say

when it's too late

we can only say goodbye



always somewhere

we only say goodbye

going nowhere

we only say goodbye

there's never time to say

all the things we need to say...
