The Long Goodbye

Music and lyrics by Ryan Russell

Verse 1:
A photograph fading in the rain
Every day a little more erased
All the clocks they refuse to chime
‘Cause they too mourned the curse of time

Chorus:
Every day a prayer unheard
Silence loud as screaming words
Every breath a million sighs
Stuck inside this long goodbye

Verse 2:
You left us all a long time before
The final breath, the closing door
The love I send travels through the haze
Time has taken most of you away

Chorus:
Every day a prayer unheard
Silence loud as screaming words
Every breath a million sighs
Stuck inside this long goodbye

Verse 3:
I said goodbye so many times
To see you there so lost inside
We’re still here as I try to cry
Even now as you close your eyes

Chorus:
Every day a prayer unheard
Silence loud as screaming words
Every breath a million sighs
Stuck inside this long goodbye

Goodbye…

THE LONG GOODBYE

Your Eyes

Music and lyrics by Ryan Russell 

Your golden hair
Is Sunlight’s twin
Flowing in the wind

Your brightness glows
Upon your skin
Completely crystalline

The beauty in your eyes
Blue as heaven’s skies

I see you stare
While I can’t see
What you see in me

I never knew
But I believe 
We were meant to be

The beauty in your eyes
Blue as heaven’s skies

I see it in your eyes
A love I can’t deny

You never know
Where I would be
If you weren’t with me

But now I know
And now I see
That you belong to me

The beauty in your eyes
Blue as heaven’s skies

I see it in your eyes
The love that never dies
