A Short Goodbye

Sweet melodies
Breaking on a sullen ear
Will endear
And bring memories
Sweet melodies

Sweet melodies
Cross an ancient battlefield
Soaring still and claim memories

Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye now
Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye.

Sweet melodies
At a trembling finger stroke
Will evoke
skin memory
Sweet melodies

Sweet melodies
Fade to quiet evening pale
And a trail of white memories

Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye now
Say a short goodbye, a short goodbye now, a short goodbye.
