Wailin' Jennys, The - Last Goodbye Lyrics






I hear the wrecking ball
sure on the path, no thought for the old
But the fault lines were there so how much should we care
we’re broken in two from the day we are born
But you’ll not hear any more of this said
You’re singing a song that’s been stuck in your head
You say, I’ll tell you how we’ll both make it through to the end

And then you will see that I love you
you’ll rest with me all our nights
You say, I know a place where your heart can be safe
and you’ve said your last goodbye

I hear every word that you say
taking it in like an old fairy tale
Through for better or worse and the promise of verse
you make it seem real, like its all here to stay
But see how the wind it blows, all the birds scatter
and I’m out here alone
You say I know your favourite song and I’ll sing you back home

And then you will see that I love you
you’ll rest with me all our nights
You say I know a place where your heart can be safe
and you’ve said your last goodbye

So let it come down
let it come

And then you will see that I love you
you’ll rest with me all our nights
I know a place where your heart can be safe
and you’ve said your last goodbye

    I hear the wrecking ball
    Sure on the path, no thought for the old
    But the fault lines were there so how much should we care
    We’re broken in two from the day we are born
    But you’ll not hear any more of this said
    You’re singing a song that’s been stuck in your head
    You say, I’ll tell you how we’ll both make it through
    To the end

    And then you will see that I love you
    You’ll rest with me all our nights
    You say, I know a place where your heart can be safe
    And you’ve said your last goodbye

    I hear every word that you say
    Taking it in like an old fairy tale
    Through for better or worse and the promise of verse
    You make it seem real, like it's all here to stay
    But see how the wind it blows, all the birds scatter
    And I’m out here alone
    You say I know your favourite song and I’ll sing you
    Back home

    And then you will see that I love you
    You’ll rest with me all our nights
    You say I know a place where your heart can be safe
    And you’ve said your last goodbye

    So let it come down
    Let it come

    And then you will see that I love you
    You’ll rest with me all our nights
    I know a place where your heart can be safe
    And you’ve said your last goodbye

    Thank you for sharing this. In a few days I'll have finally said my last goodbye to my love, my husband I've been apart from for too many years, so it struck a nerve with me. Simply beautiful.

    Such refreshing music compared to what is usually played these days :) I just love these ladies.

  5. B.... G....

    Nicky 's voice is so lightful. She's like a medecine.

    These women are amazing! Mom and I caught them at Wolf Trap this May as they were guests of Garrison Keillor and "A Prairie Home Companion". Their harmonies are so beautiful.
