Fare thee well
Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy
Wonder why we tried for things we never could be
Play our heart's lament
Like an unresearsed symphony
Not intend
To leave this castle full of empty rooms
Our love the captive in the tower never rescued
And all the victory songs
Seemed to be playing out of tune
CHORUS
'Cause it's not the way that it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy no
No, it's not the way that it has to be
You begin
All your words fall to the floor and break like china cups
And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up
I reach for my tea slowly drink in
CHORUS
Fare thee well
The words the bag that fill my head
I could taste the bitterness
and call the waitress instead
'cause she holds the answer
Smiles and asks One teaspoon or two?
CHORUS
We can work it out
