Goodbye Again Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

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 thinks 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 gray 

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 

And now she comes home to a 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
