Buddy, Julie Miller, Patty Griffin - Don't Say Goodbye lyrics

I'm drinkin' rain
And taking pictures in the dark
With some flowers in my hair
And a hole inside my heart

And the hole you left in me
Is so deep and it's so wide
If you look, I think you'll see
Through right to the other side

Take the stars down that I wished on
Take the stars down from the sky
Take my heart and leave me here
But when you go, don't say goodbye
I used to wait
Wait for trains that never come
I would wait for yesterday
But, I was waiting for no one

So now I don't look for you
To come walking through my door
Those were just the longings of a child
Who doesn't live here anymore

Take the stars down that I wished on
Take my tears so I don't cry
Take my heart and leave me here
But when you go, don't say goodbye

So say a prayer for the ones love left behind
'Cause a broken heart grown cold
Is the hardest burden you can find

There's a bottle where God keeps
All our tears saved up inside
But, it's gonna take a river
For all the ones I have cried

Take the stars down that I wished on
Take my tears so I don't cry
Take my heart and leave me here
But when you go, don't say goodbye
Take my heart down that I wished on
Take the stars down from the sky
Give me one last kiss and leave me here
But when you go, don't say goodbye
