did ya' hear a song
did ya' ever hear a sing
a sad song
did words ever bring
back a gone wrong

did yur hear a banjo
did you ever know
a guitar
with it's sad strings
ever hear the drums
how about a fiddle
just a fiddlin' sound
just fiddlin' around

did ya' ever
dance
2-step
outta step
a lonesome waltz

did ya' ever dance alone
did you ever sing
to yourself
to sleep

did you ever know lonely
were you ever alone
ever get stoned

did you ever know sad
did you ever lose what
you had

were you evr happy
or sad

do you hear music
when itn ain't there
where it should be
do you ever see
a mirror
a picture a me


do you danc
when you can prance
ever take a stance
when just standin'
is a hard understandin'

do you ever read me
see
my poetry
see me
dancion'
prancin'
glancin'
back

cut me slack
or just back
off
go jack-off
do i care
i be there
just where
i be
see
that be me

i jusst be
the dancin' me

this poem has nutin'
ta' do
with goodbye
don't ask me why
but goodbye
is always a good title
and i be in-titled
to a goodbye
