A Cool Goodbye

Gretchen Peters

Will I see you tonight with the moon in your hair?
Your sad little smile, your poetic despair
Will we meet on the freeway under the sky
For a cool goodbye?

There's a crack in my voice, there's a crack in my heart
The foundation is crumbling, I'm falling apart
And the cars on the freeway are whistling by
Like a cool goodbye

I've learned my lesson, I've been to school
You were the teacher, I was the fool

Well, how do you do it, baby? What is your trick?
You make it look easy, the kiss and the kick
A shrug of the shoulder, a wink of the eye
And a cool goodbye
