If I could say goodbye

IF I COULD SAY GOODBYE (E A D G A E, capo 1)

 

If I could walk I would walk into the trees. If I could swim I would swim to the end of the sea.

And if I could fly I would fly into the sun. If I could say goodbye I’d say goodbye to everyone.

 

If I could run I would run into the night. If I could hide I would hide in the brightest light.

If I could talk I’d tell you.

 

Khmer Rouge, genocide quo
Your place or mein kampf, now I’m giving the dog a bone
Slight hunch without the vaguest clue
To keep the blood balanced and we’re coming around again
Half past nine, quarter to two, ten fifteen
And we’re coming round again

 

If I could talk I’d tell you
If I could smile I’d let you know

 

And if I could fly I would fly into the sun. If I could say goodbye I would say goodbye to everyone.
