The Long Goodbye Lyrics - Sarah Mclachlan

Catch a star as it falls and hold it in your hand 

Feel the heat still it burns searing embers of your glorious sun 

Oh this is painful this endless aching need 

The very thing I long for is what brings me to my knees 

You walked in to my world won me over caught me so off guard 

But I gave in to the wonder to the poetry of our souls set fire 

And oh it was beautiful our tender hearts entwined 

And I thought we could conquer any mountains we would climb 

And now I'm waiting on the light 

To ease the fury of this one desire 

I'm trying to be patient I'm trying to stay high 

I'm trying to find the wisdom in this long goodbye 

Stop the world stop the noise I've heard enough my head is spinning 'round 

Give me more than words to feed me truth I can believe in give me solid ground 

But our days are measured in fraying threads of gold 

Every day unraveling till there's nothing left to hold 

Now I'm still waiting on the light 

To ease the fury of this losing fight 

I'm trying to forgive you to hold my head up high 

I'm trying to find the wisdom in this long goodbye 

I gave my love gave it all but in the end it didn't change a thing 

You can't love a man out of his fate can't tame a head and heart so out of sync 

But oh I am grateful this will not bring me down 

The tides are always gonna turn and come on back around
