Il testo della I love you goodbye

I would never normally go bowling
On a friday morning in new orleans
But i like to come here to remember
The kind of places you took me

Like the time we stole a datsun
And drove all night to the everglades
Until we crashed it in a big electric storm
And stood there listening to the bayou rain

The county sheriff had a hair-lip
Louisiana's pride and joy
But he said politely as he cuffed me
"i never busted an english boy"

"but i will accept a contribution
To the opelousas' charity ball
But you better drive this dirty datsun
Into the gulf of mexico"

Under a cajun moon i lay me open
There is a spirit here that won't be broken
Some words are sad to sing, some leave me tongue-tied
(but the hardest thing to tell you )
But the hardest words i know are i love you goodbye
I love you goodbye

Typhoon pierre delayed my plane till morning
(jusqu'au matin)
Let the bontemps rouler from your accordion
(l'accordien)
Under a cajun moon i lay me open
(y a un esprit partout)

There is a spirit here that won't be broken
(simple words are sad to sing)
Some words are sad to sing
(they leave me tongue-tied)
Some leave you tongue-tied
(but the hardest thing to tell you my friend)

But the hardest words i know
(is i love you goodbye)
Are i love you goodbye
(je t'aime, au revoir)
I love you goodbye
(je t'aime, toujours)
I love you, goodbye
I love you, i love you, i love you, i love you goodbye
