Lyrics

Every year or so he packs up his life
Doesn't own a piece of furniture
Always travels light - bus, train or flight
Searching for his next adventure

Every 2 or 3 years she yearns
For bluer waters and skies
New York, L.A., London, Amsterdam
New job, new friends, new man

He was trying to find a place to call home
She was hoping to grow some roots of her own
The city's too crowded - the towns are too small
Always longing for something more
Thousands of miles - highways and roads
But the loneliness follows the emptiness flows
And it's time for another goodbye

He asked for directions
She laughed at the question
No, clue - I just arrived
He said cool - I'm new too
Would you like to sightsee sometime?

He was trying to find a place to call home
She was hoping to grow some roots of her own
The city's too crowded - the towns are too small
Always longing for something more
Thousands of miles - highways and roads
But the loneliness follows the emptiness flows
How many more goodbyes?
How many more goodbyes?

And in the morning light
With hearts and lives entwined
We forget when we thought

The city's too crowded - the towns are too small
Always longing for something more
Thousands of miles - highways and roads
But the loneliness follows the emptiness flows

How many more goodbyes?
For now there's one less goodbye
