Frank Black Strange Goodbye

i used to walk in a big black cloud
you came along and you led me out
a nest of demons
bled on my chest
you picked me up and you layed them to rest
its a pain to be sure
we were aiming so high its so strange to be saying goodbye
we saw the world from an automobile
saw the best views over ten thousand meals
funny how an evening turns into years
funny how were laughing through all of these tears
its a pain to be sure


we sure gave it a try
its a shame to be sayin goodbye
oh my darlin should we have one more dance
a prayer to the rain gods to give one more chance
the water will cleanse as we spin on the plain
take us to the ocean to find love again
its a pain to be sure
we were aiming so high
its so strange to be sayin goodbye
its a pain that endures
we sure gave it a try
its so strange to be saying goodbye
