Saying goodbye to the place where you grew up is not an easy thing to do.
acoustic folk country lai
Lyricist on an endless quest for the perfect melody.
I'm afraid I can't claim to be a band, although I have been known to jump on a bandwagon from time to time. No, I'm just a humble lyricist who is in absolute awe of the composers who have stumbled into my life and bothered to wrap a melody around some of my words. I've been attempting to legitimately call myself a lyricist since I was about 14 years old. Have a listen, won't you, and let me know if I qualify.

Lyrics
Never Thought Goodbye Would Be This Hard Lyric and music ©2005 by Greg C. Brown We buried Dad up on Cedar Hill; His pain was brief, thank God, the end was fast. He’s lying next to Mama where he will Protect her just the way he always has. They didn’t have much money to hand down, And not much value in the things they owned, Except for a piece of land outside of town With a small three bedroom house we knew as home. CHORUS We’re looking round this house one final time, Making sure no memories get left behind. A sign that says FOR SALE stands in the yard, I never thought goodbye would be this hard. The kitchen has a coat of fresh white paint That hides the smells I loved when I was ten. But I can still taste every meal I ate As if I were a little boy again. My sister walks from room to room and cries, Her age has finally caught up with her face. The air outside is thick as storm clouds rise, It’s like they know the sadness in this place. REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE New owners are moving in today, Newlyweds just starting on their way. This old house is where their lives begin, I hope they’ll be as happy as we’ve been. REPEAT CHORUS We’re looking round this house one final time, Making sure no memories get left behind. The sign that says FOR SALE lies in the yard, I never thought goodbye would be this hard. The sign that says FOR SALE lies in the yard, I never thought goodbye would be this hard. I never thought goodbye would be this hard.
