Lyrics
A Thousand Ways by Paul Nicholson
If you wrote me a letter
Told me a story with your hands
It would have been better
Would have helped me understand
If you left me a message
From your lips, after the tone
What the heart confesses
It always strips to the bone
Chorus --
There must be a thousand ways
A thousand ways to say goodbye
There must be a thousand ways
A thousand ways to say goodbye
If we went for coffee
If we sat outside in the sun
Baby, I know that you'd see
That our time has just begun
And if you painted a picture
With the colors in your eyes
Can't you see us together
In watercolor skies?
Chorus
If you sang me a love song
Would you remember all the words?
How could I get it so wrong
What I know that I heard
You stare at me with deserted eyes
Tell me there's nothing left to say
Maybe the coldest way to say goodbye
Is to stay.
Chorus
If you wrote me a letter
Told me a story with your hands
It would have been better
Would have helped me understand
If you left me a message
From your lips, after the tone
What the heart confesses
It always strips to the bone
Chorus --
There must be a thousand ways
A thousand ways to say goodbye
There must be a thousand ways
A thousand ways to say goodbye
If we went for coffee
If we sat outside in the sun
Baby, I know that you'd see
That our time has just begun
And if you painted a picture
With the colors in your eyes
Can't you see us together
In watercolor skies?
Chorus
If you sang me a love song
Would you remember all the words?
How could I get it so wrong
What I know that I heard
You stare at me with deserted eyes
Tell me there's nothing left to say
Maybe the coldest way to say goodbye
Is to stay.
Chorus

Thanks for posting. The verse about the watercolor skies was my favourite part.
