The Counting Song
Tinpan Orange

There's only one thing that I'm sure of,
There's only one thing that I know:
One day I'll grasp happiness,
One day I will let go.
There's two more nights of longing,
And then two long weeks of fear.
As two more dance their lonely way,
Step back, and take two steps near.

Goodbye, to love,
Goodbye, to fear.
Goodbye, my love,
Goodbye, my fear.

There's three things that you showed me,
There's three things that I've learnt:
Your love can make me crazy,
It can leave me cold, or burnt.
Four times that we've been here,
Four times, we've seen the end.
For tomorrow is another day,
For my heart to start to mend.

Goodbye, to love,
Goodbye, to fear.
Goodbye, my love,
Goodbye, my fear.

Five secrets you told me,
Five tales, I told you in return.
Your confidence was icy,
And my lies could make you burn.
Six long days of mourning,
Six mornings, filled with rain.
Another long day sifting through,
Someone else's lonely pain.

Goodbye, to love,
Goodbye, to fear.
Goodbye, my love,
Goodbye, my fear.

Seven candles burning,
Seven voices filled the room.
And I can't tell if it's twilight,
Or if the dawn is coming soon.

Goodbye, to love,
Goodbye, to fear.
Goodbye, my love,
Goodbye, my fear.
