about

Written on the night of 9/11. For all those who never had the chance to say goodbye, whatever the circumstances xx

lyrics

Never Said Goodbye
1. You woke me just this morning
As you crawled out of bed
Mumbled something to yourself
Couldn't hear the words you said
Before I go to wake the kids
A fleeting kiss goodbye
Ignition coughing into life
And off to work you fly

Never knew so little time
Never finished the words I said
Never said goodbye to you, my love
Never said - goodbye

2. The day was just the same
As hundreds gone before
No warning, then the nightmare
Normality no more
I stand amid the clouds of dust
Tiny hands in mine
Dad'll be here soon I say
Don't worry he'll be fine

Never knew…

3. An accident they say
Before the truth was clear
But then the awful story
That cost us all so dear
The loss which hit so many
Brought anger, fear and hate
Still we stand despairing
All we can do is wait

Never knew…

4. Amidst the noise and clamour
Silence still remains
Frozen into stone I stand
Waiting for the pain
Instead a nothingness I feel
Staring into space
Can't begin to think about
The horror we may face

Never knew so little time
Never finished the words I said
Never said goodbye to you, my love
Never said – goodbye
