Julie Gribble: Tunes

Hard to Say

Stone glasses and cold faces,
travelling past Oregon
Man's last wishes and Washington's kisses
blowin' in on Highway 5

Do you deny your maker,
when you're screamin' down the freeway trying to make some sort of stand
If you listen really closely,
you can hear them breaking

It's hard to say goodbye
It's hard to say goodbye
It's hard to say goodbye

Pan seared meltdowns in cafes in Corvallis
that hippie in the corner
She blends life into a cure,
and it's five more to Marysville

My heart remembers leaving behind,
the sunset and the mountains
we're staring out the rearview
First time you said love to me,
I had to agree

It's hard to say goodbye,
It's hard to say goodbye, to you my friend
It's hard to say goodbye, leave it behind and say goodbye

As if the road wasn't tough enough,
well, heading home is so much worse
it's fear of what awaits me there
and my body's a hard edged sword
waiting for war

It's hard to say goodbye,
It's hard to say goodbye, to you my friend
It's hard to say goodbye, leave it behind and say goodbye
