This song deals with learning to grieve, and how we deal with losing someone we love
Goodbye by Patty Griffin

Occurred to me the other day
You've been gone now a couple years
Well, I guess it takes a while
For someone to really disappear

And I remember where I was
When the word came about you
It was a day much like today
The sky was wide, and bright, and blue

(chorus)
And I wonder where you are
And if the pain ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say goodbye

Today my heart is big and sore
It's tryin to push right through my skin
I won't see you anymore
I guess that's finally sinkin in

Cause you can't make somebody see
By the simple words you say
All their beauty from within
Sometimes they just look away

(chorus)
And I wonder where you are
And if the pain ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say goodbye
