Sophie’s Goodbye

Your bags were packed before the sun was high (mmm)

I watched you leave without a real goodbye

Sophie, you said you found a better way

With him in the city where the summers stay

I saw the way he held your coat last night

Under the flicker of the station light

He has the things I could not hope to buy

But he doesn't know the quiet in your eye

Oh, Sophie, does he know your favorite song?

Does he hold you when the winter nights are long?

You traded our small town for his grand design

Now he is yours,

and you are no longer mine (no longer mine)

I still walk past the house we used to share

And see his shadow on the curtain there

It only took a moment to erase

Five years of memories from this dusty place

Goodbye, Sophie

(ahhh) Let him keep you warm
