we thought I'll have one of those
We played our very best hands
and wore our finest clothes
Needing you, you were feeding me,
the sun, the moon and the stars
With a song on your guitar
You said goodbye, Mr. Stace
You didn't need to explain
Did we think it might work out fine?
Did we just hope it would?
it's like we played out the movie
Did it seem that short to you?
You said goodbye, Mr. Stace
You didn't need to explain
I'm not really going away,
It's a moment I'd rather forget
Or better yet, not regret
Yeah, yeah, there's no hope of that
I guess fair to say that I could have taken
you away from all of this
Your house, your handsome husband,
It was a power I chose not to exercise
You said goodbye Mr States,
you didn't need to explain
