Say Goodnight

Say goodnight, the pinhold flag unfurls
Against the sky, a tiny hand uncurls
A mouth resigns it’s smile
'Cause I could always get a grin free from you child
I was once your mother’s friend
Say goodnight, we’ve passed a happy ending
Close your eyes, and dream of us pretending
The cards always hold, the tall sail waves wild
And try to mutany against this child
I was once your mother’s friend
Those dizzying heights, those crayons and kites
You hanging on sleeves, and pocketing leaves
Little things I can’t let go
A million things that kill me slowly
Say goodnight, though you don’t recognize my face
There was a time, when you went limp in my embrace for awhile
We though those days would never end, oh child
I was once your mother’s friend
Say goodnight. Say goodnight. Say goodnight
And I’ll say goodbye
