Late Goodbye

Poets of the Fall

In our headlights

staring, bleak

beer cans

deer's eyes



On the asphalt

underneath

our crushed plans

and my lies



Lonely street signs

power lines

they keep on flashing

flashing by



And we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

such a late goodbye



And we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye



Your breath

hot upon my cheek

and we crossed

that line



You made me strong

when I was feeling weak

and we crossed

that one time



Screaming stop signs

staring wild eyes

keep on flashing

flashing by



And we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

such a late goodbye



And we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye



The devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us

points at your flaming hair and then we're playin' hide and seek



I can't breathe easy here 'less our trail's gone cold behind us

'til in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak



We keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

such a late goodbye



And we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

such a late goodbye



And we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

such a late goodbye



And we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

such a late goodbye



And we keep driving into the night

it's a late goodbye

such a late goodbye



And we keep driving into the night...
