Christina Simmons - Parting Words

Saying good bye
What is goodbye?
No big thing
No big deal
Only two little words
Nothing I haven't heard before
Done before
I say it all year round
First to spring
Then summer
Knowing autumn is on its way
Eventually winter will be next
Do we ever say good-bye?
Or do we merely continue
Like the four seasons
Shredding new skin
Leaving to see a new dawn
To you I'm saying
Goodbye
Farewell
So long
Bon voyage
Like the autumn leaves
Live the trees
Good luck
