We kiss goodnight and we turn out the lights We lay side by side in the darkAnd we're waiting for sleep or a spark But the night's on the run and the spark has not comeAnd we quietly worry and wonder And the silence is louder than thunderAnd it rings with the sound of goodbye It rings with the sound of goodbyeI can't even tell you just why It may be the truth or it may be a lieBut it sounds like the sound of goodbyeWe can talk of the weather We can talk of the newsWe can talk of the talk of the town There's another true love going downWe can talk of our promises, talk of our lies But there's no use in pointing our fingersAnd the sound of our love still lingers But it rings with the sound of goodbyeIt rings with the sound of goodbye I can't even tell you just whyIt may be the truth or it may be a lie But it sounds like the sound of goodbyeTime is forever but love is a fire And one day it's one degree colderAnd the clock's ticking over your shoulder And it ticks and it ticks and it ticks and it ticksAnd it ticks with the sound of goodbye I can't even tell you just whyIt may be the truth or it may be a lie But it sounds like the sound of goodbyeSounds of goodbye I can't even tell you just whyIt may be the truth or it may be a lie But it sounds like the sound of goodbyeSounds of goodbye I can't even tell you just whyIt may be the truth or it may be a lie But it sounds like the sound of goodbye
