I Went By

I went by St Joseph’s boxing club
I went by the private shop
I went by the things that we had done
I went by old johnsfords shop
I went by the steamy windows
I went by the open door
I went by the public houses
I went by the docks and wharves
Jump back when you call me
I counted 1,2,3
I wondered were you all alone
When you said goodbye to me
I bought you a pen to write with
I play your favourite song
I tried to buy time to work things out
But all I bought was wrong 9 months ago
Goodbye to the town we lived in
Goodbye to the place we met
Goodbye to our future
Goodbye our regrets
Goodbye to the grey streets
I say goodbye to us
I say goodbye to you
I say goodbye to love
Jump back when you call me
I counted 1,2,3
I wondered were you all alone
When you said goodbye to me
