Go and Say Goodbye
Unveiling Heartache: Buffalo Springfield's Poignant Farewell
Lyrics
You ask me to read this letter
You request me to read this letter
That you wrote the night before
Written the night before by you
And you really should know better
You should have better judgment
'Cause she's worth a whole lot more
Because she deserves much more value
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Brother, you acknowledge you can't escape and avoid
Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why
Is it that you don't want to witness her tears? Is that the reason?
You won't go and say goodbye
You refuse to go and bid farewell
Then you said the fault was yours
You then admit the fault lies with you
When you really were to blame
Despite falsely claiming innocence
'Twas as if to close the doors
As if closing doors, hiding in shame
And to hide away in shame
Retreating from responsibility
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Brother, you realize you can't escape and avoid
Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why
Is it that you don't want to witness her tears? Is that the reason?
You won't go and say goodbye
You persist in not saying goodbye
Yes, and why, tell me why
Yes, and why, explain to me why
Can't you see that it's not right
Can't you see that it's morally wrong?
It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a deception, it's a deception
Don't hide your sorrow in the night
Don't conceal your grief in the night
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Brother, you understand you can't escape and avoid
Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why
Is it that you don't want to witness her tears? Is that the reason?
You won't go and say goodbye
You persist in not saying goodbye
And you know the pain is double
And you recognize the pain is twofold
But for her it's even worse
But for her, it's even more severe
You must face her with the trouble
You must confront her with the trouble
'Though it's hurting like a curse
Even though it's painful like a curse
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Brother, you understand you can't escape and avoid
Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why
Is it that you don't want to witness her tears? Is that the reason?
You won't go and say
You persist in not saying
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Brother, you understand you can't escape and avoid
Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why
Is it that you don't want to witness her tears? Is that the reason?
You won't go and say
You persist in not saying
Gonna go and say, gonna go and say goodbye
Going to go and say, going to go and say goodbye
