Song Lyrics

"Every Time I Say Goodbye"

by Christopher Williams
Album: Side Streets - Live

It's twelve am and the church bell reminds me that I walk these streets alone / It's not each ring that hurts but the silence in between every solitary tone / And the cracks in the sidewalk, the way the lights in each window talk, each telling me why I miss your smile / The center of town is a few side streets that meet with nothing much in between / One traffic light that in the dead of the night I can hear turn from red to green / It's a moment like this, where this silence feeds the lonliness / And everything I see makes me think of you / Chorus / If I said I love you would it be too soon / Cause timing is everything in this old familiar tune / I would spend my life underneath a wandering moon / If every time I said goodbye, I could come back home to you / This little town fights the end of the day by throwing light into the sky / From second street I watch the steeple light give up, turn off, and say goodnight / It is speaking to me and to the stars that I now can see / Telling us that it's our time to shine / Chorus / Sorry to call so late, I know you were sleeping but this could not wait / Tonight the silence gave me no choice, I had to break it, I had to hear your voice / Chorus
