Lyrics for Goodbye Song - from 'Beatrix Runs'

No need for flutes or violins

Cause they won't mean a thing

When everything's been said.

No need for fancy cards or flowery prose

Though I suppose

they make us feel less bad.

No need for long, drawn-out explaining 

how and when - and why - this love came to an end

No need to to tell me so sincerely

you still want to be my friend.

 

It's a goodbye song

A little bitter, but it's sweet

You always wanted one

It comes a little late - but it's complete

It's from the heart

Please remember: I love you dearly

although we have to part.

 

No need to gather up the evidence 

to justify the emptiness inside

No need to pray and turn for guidance to the Providence:

it simply won't provide.

No need to ask your friends 

for well-intentioned Good Advice -

they're happy to oblige.

(and though I know you want to)

 -no need to promise we will work it out

and start again

Let's simply turn the page.

 

It's a goodbye song

A little bitter, but it's sweet

And you always wanted one

It comes a little late - but it's complete

It's from the heart

Please remember: I love you dearly

although we have to part.

 

So I won't cling to you

because it's driving you away

No need for subterfuge

I've all run out of insights

and inspiring things to say.

No need to worry so about me

cause you know

I'm landing on my feet...

 

... a little late - but I'm complete.

I speak from the heart:

please remember - I love you dearly

although we have to part.

Please remember, I love you dearly

although we have to part.
