Lyrics Goodbye Again - Mary Chapin Carpenter
Every
night
she
sleeps
alone
And
by
her
bed
she
puts
the
phone
And
every
morning
after
that
She
takes
the
phone
and
puts
it
back
He's
got
a
wife
back
home
And
three
kids
up
and
grown
But
these
are
things
that
go
unsaid
He
might
call
her
from
the
road
Just
in
time
to
say
hello
And
goodbye
again
She
keeps
his
picture
tucked
away
She
think
she'll
have
it
framed
one
day
And
maybe
he'll
come
see
it
there
Hanging
by
her
rocking
chair
In
a
corner
of
her
room
On
a
Sunday
afternoon
When
all
the
world
is
dull
and
grey
She
might
close
her
eyes
and
sit
Rocking
gently
for
a
bit
'Till
all
the
bad
thoughts
go
away
Back
when
children
played
their
games
London
bridge
and
Jesse
James
She
captured
flags,
she
bounced
the
ball
And
every
time
she
beat
them
all
Now
she
comes
home
to
her
cat
In
a
three
room
walk
up
flat
And
plays
a
game
of
solitaire
Well,
she
made
a
fist
last
night
And
she
broke
the
hallway
light
And
the
pieces
scattered
everywhere
You
see,
he's
got
a
wife
back
home
And
three
kids
up
and
grown
But
these
are
things
that
go
unsaid
He
might
call
her
from
the
road
Just
in
time
to
say
hello
And
goodbye
again
