How You Say Goodbye
The bases are loaded
I bow down to the floor
A single shot on this green plot
Is all I’m asking for
September has faded
No room for wanting more
My sad goodbye
That’s spoken through
This stadium ensures
The temple is floating
The cheers sound much too good
The back yard sales
Of tallest tales
Is far too understood
I’m taking my chances
With a slightly crooked grin
And a fire in my eyes
And a timely telling sin
Chorus
If the pitch comes in
Over the plate
Just the right speed
And perfectly straight
Swing of the bat
And it cracks
And the crowd goes wild
It’s a long line drive
To dead centerfield
It’s over the wall
And the legacy’s sealed
And that my friends
Is how you say goodbye
So many moments
But none to save the day
I never had that chance
But that the price I had to pay
But now I am grounded
The fans ignite the flame
And the lightning says
Straight road ahead
To glory and to fame
Oh This face looks better
Than a morning glory bloom
But I’ve struck out
way more times
Than you can fit in this old room
But as I turn to leave
I’ll find the strength
I’ll never tell
So I’m climbing up
The down escalator
For one last kiss farewell
And that my friends is how
I said goodbye
