The Short Goodbye

The last time I saw you was at Joshua Tree You left me stranded in a motel lobby You had to be in L.A. the next day I took a picture cause there was nothing left to say It was the short goodbye It was the short goodbye It was the short goodbye Someone told me now those trees are all dead We weren't in love, but we weren't friends I didn't realize when I was most free The picture's fading and so are we It was the short goodbye It was the short goodbye It was the short goodbye It was the short goodbye It was the short goodbye
