Irish Goodbye

Her kiss is French 

Patchouli drenched

Something from a dream 

Girl from Texas 

Lord blessed her

With a sword sharp enough,

Better hide your feelings

Just in case -

There’s a shadow or a doubt 

About who she can be

She won’t storm out acting childish, cause 

Her presence is golden, and her goodbye is Irish 

The fastest ghost, cut out, left, gone 

A whole big scene but no one saw her leave 

Dark turns to light, you’ll start remembering

Cause what you don’t see

Is the green river in her veins, she’s a tyrant  

Heart cold as Chicago, and her goodbye is Irish 

Tan skin, Italian

Blonde, like, Californian 

Keep your eye on the door

Missed her then, now miss her more

One thing about her

She’s not gonna fight it

She’s a whole lot of things, 

but you’ll never forget her goodbye is Irish 

No need to push on

Making up a whole thing 

Shots on the page versus day drinking 

Just to toy with a girl i used to be - 

A reason to write

To rage

To play

To hold the power

She’ll use it 

A silence that’s deafened before 

She’ll do it. 

Check yourself, then check the door - 

She was just right here, 

Where’d she go 

Don’t know

But now you can see - 

call her crazy, go ahead

Boy you really tried it -

Now you’ll never forget her goodbye is Irish.
