lyrics

Meet me at sundown
At the Café Blue Moon
There’s a train leaving town
Got to be on it soon

All the diamond dreams
Cut forever clean
Never came to pass
Their sparkle never lasts
Their only made of glass

When you’re on you’re really on
But when it’s gone
You’ve got to face the fact
It’s never coming back
Goodbye just takes so long

A painted desert sunrise
On the Santa Fe Trail
The bitter taste, the paradise
Riding high on two rails

All the crystal schemes
In the final scene
Clouded our eyes
Said goodbye
I hate to say goodbye

Forget your foolish pride
It tears you up inside
It only makes you want to
Hide yourself away
Don’t hide your love away
Time will be your guide
But let your heart decide
Before you turn and run
Like I did today

(chorus)

I hate to say goodbye
What’s so good about goodbye
