• Wednesday night
    I stepped into green light and
    saw her walking by
    and every time she does
    I pause
    and whisper words to satisfy myself
    I know it won't help but hell,
    I might as well
    But tonight you heard them rhyme
    it's just too bad I'm out of time.
    You said you're barking up the wrong tree
    here with me
    and I said those great green eyes of yours
    are keeping you from seeing me
    and I'm so tired of
    this bone you're picking
    this itch that you're not scratching
    this empty bag you're packing
    don't say goodbye

    And I'm that big dog with
    the biggest bark you've ever heard
    but all the barking in the world
    won't make you understand a word

    Thursday morning
    I'm lying in bed at 3 A.M.
    Exit sign is calling your name
    burning bright
    And if it's my last chance
    I'll be there
    to say goodbye
    So now I'm running
    in this parking lot
    and I thought you'd never say goodbye
    but borrowed time just can't be bought
    and I'm so tired
    of being led on by
    the high beams and the emptiness
    and boarding signs and your last kiss
    Don't leave without saying goodbye

    And I'm that big dog with the
    biggest bark you've ever heard
    but at thirty thousand feet I know
    you won't hear a single word

    And I'm running and I'm screaming
    with the biggest bark you've ever heard
    and I've found you but you're leaving
    and you won't hear a single word.

    Thursday night I saw red lights fade out into the sky.
