Into the night I let out a call
Of hope you’re calling out a wish for me
And yet I know that even if it were so
It’d be too late to save a single thing
Cause the key’s been lost
And the hay’s been piled much to high
To make it’s nonexistence worthy of the needle’s cost
Cause consolation means nearly nothing now
I bid to you my goodbye
I’ve been in and out, up and down
But this is mine and no other’s making
So stop fighting and I’ll take what is due
Cause the past is so deeply buried I’d better wake early
Start moving boulders resting on pebbles
Piled so high it’s almost not worth the risk
Of tipping the teeter-totter further than it is
Cause consolation means less than nothing now
I bid to you my goodbye
