Goodbye Again Lyrics - Hometown Girl/state Of The Heart - Mary Chapin Carpenter

(Mary Chapin Carpenter) 

Every night she sleeps alone 

And by her bed she puts the phone 

And every morning after that 

She takes the phone and puts it back 

Now he's got a wife back home 

And three kids up and grown 

But these are things that go unsaid 

He might call her from the road 

Just in time to say hello and 

Goodbye again

She keeps his picture tucked away 

She think she might have it framed someday 

And maybe he'll come see it there 

Hanging by her rocking chair 

In a corner of her room 

On a Sunday afternoon 

When all the world is dull and grey 

She might close her eyes and sit 

Rocking gently for a bit 

Till all the bad thoughts go away 

Back when children played their games 

London bridge and Jesse James 

She captured flags she bounced the ball 

And every time she beat them all 

Photos 

Now she comes home to her cat 

In a three room walk up flat 

And plays a game of solitaire 

Well she made a fist last night 

And she broke the hallway light 

And the pieces scattered everywhere 

You see he's got a wife back home 

And three kids up and grown 

But these are things that go unsaid 

He might call her from the road 

Just in time to say hello 

And goodbye again
