Like A Sleepy Golden Storm

Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye   

I loved you in the morning, 

our kisses deep and warm, 

your hair upon the pillow 

like a sleepy golden storm, 

yes, many loved before us, 

I know that we are not new, 

in city and in forest 

they smiled like me and you, 

but now it's come to distances 

and both of us must try, 

your eyes are soft with sorrow, 

Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

I'm not looking for another 

as I wander in my time, 

walk me to the corner, 

our steps will always rhyme 

you know my love goes with you 

as your love stays with me, 

it's just the way it changes, 

like the shoreline and the sea, 

but let's not talk of love or chains 

and things we can't untie, 

your eyes are soft with sorrow, 

Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

I loved you in the morning, 

our kisses deep and warm, 

your hair upon the pillow 

like a sleepy golden storm, 

yes many loved before us, 

I know that we are not new, 

in city and in forest 

they smiled like me and you, 

but let's not talk of love or chains 

and things we can't untie, 

your eyes are soft with sorrow, 

Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

– Leonard Cohen
