ONCE OR TWICE

This used to be

This sad and withered

Present

Cropped photographs

Can't represent it

cnd I used

To call

But the number's

Disconnected

cnd I've said

It all a thousand times

To the dial tone's

Invective

We all say goodbye

Once or twice,

To all of the good things

In our lives

Nobody wants to be

Passed by,

But we just can't catch it

We all say goodbye,

Once or twice,

To all of the good things

In our lives

Nobody wants to be

Passed by,

But we just can't catch it

Friends used to write

Me letters on the weekend

cnd they

still might

But fear

Just won't

Let me

Receive them

cnd when I'm alone at night,

I won't listen to no reason

cnd now

I don't know left from right,

Holy men from

True believers

We all say goodbye

Once or twice

To all of the good things

In our lives

Nobody wants to be

Passed by

But we just can't catch it

We all say goodbye

Once or twice

To all of the good things

In our lives

Nobody wants to be

Passed by

But we just can't catch it
