A Thousand Goodbyes

(Intro) (Verse 1) He walks through the ages, an eternal flame, With eyes that have seen joy and sorrow's claim. A shadow of time lingers in his stride, An immortal man, with no place to hide. (Verse 2) He’s watched empires rise and kingdoms fall, Seen the turning of seasons, he’s witnessed it all. Every friend that he’s made, and every love lost, He bears the weight of a thousand goodbyes (Chorus) In the still of the night, when the stars start to cry, He feels the ache of a thousand goodbyes. But he stands like a mountain, stoic and strong, An immortal heart, that keeps moving along. (Verse 3) His face never ages, a mask of the past, Yet the pain in his soul, it clings and it lasts. He holds memories of laughter, and whispers of tears, In the echoes of centuries, through countless years. (Verse 4) He’s a guardian of secrets, a keeper of time, With a heart that remembers every farewell chime. Though his spirit is weary, his eyes remain dry, He bears the burden with a silent sigh. (Pre-Chorus) Every dawn brings a promise, every dusk hides a pain, In the cycle of life, he’s the constant refrain. Though his heart breaks in silence, he’ll never let it show. For the love he has lost, and the friends he let go. (Chorus) In the still of the night, when the stars start to cry, He feels the ache of a thousand goodbyes. In the bright light of day, when the heavens start to shine. He feels the loss of a thousand happy lives. (Chorus) In the still of the night, when the stars start to cry, He feels the ache of a thousand goodbyes. But he stands like a mountain, stoic and strong, An immortal heart, that keeps moving along. (Outro) Through the echoes of time, and the whispers of fate, He walks on, unyielding, though the hour is late. With a heart full of memories, and eyes on the skies, He carries the weight of a thousand goodbyes.
