Bitter Paradise

Friday night the week is done
Time is short soon I'll be gone
I'll miss you
Circumstance, coincidence
Future, past and present tense
I'll miss you
Halfway through I realized
I'd have to prioritize
And just in time
Because when the stolen moments end
They end and never come again
So I'll miss you

The river swirls into the ocean
Foothills arch to meet the sky
Clouds drift by
Sea winds blow
As natural as you and I
After you say goodnight
Here in the dark under star and moonlight
I'll be awake
So far away
In the next room

It's never wrong to care too much
A hug, a smile, a laugh, a touch
Is more than enough
A continent too far away
But I would make it every day
Just because
I always hate to say goodbye
Time sure flies and so must I
Just one more thing
I never know quite what to say
Maybe it's just fine this way
See you around

Another way into the valley
One more hidden trail to go
Clouds drift by
So will I
And you might never know
After you say goodnight
I've got six strings
And all night to get it right
I'll be awake
So far away
In the next room
