“Goodbye Alaska”

[Written in 1998]

Hello? - “Alaska”??....

Yeah...I’m talkin’ to you!

What would you say, if...

We eloped for a loop?

Six years o’this, say...

Think we’ve paid our dues?

Your sky is so cold...

‘N I feel trapped in this coop!

(Chorus)

Goodbye, “Alaska”

I’ve gotta fly

Out of your sky, ‘cos

It’s just too cold up here

Goodbye “Alaska”

Now, please don’t cry

Tears turn to ice, here

So sharp, they cut, Dear...

Goodbye “Alaska” (Bis)

Hey?! - “Alaska”??...

Yeah... You know who you are...

I’ve loved you long and...

Loyalty’s been my coat

But hear here, My Dear...

Just so much I can “bare”

You say you love me,

But you’re not even “there”!!

Say?! - “Alaska”??

Yeah...You wear your name well

What would you say, if

We went ‘way for a spell?

The “tormenting winds”

Of your “far, distant skies”

Have taken their toll...

Here’s a cold place for HELL!!!!

(Musical Bridge)

Yo?!... “Alaska”??

Yeah... I know you don’t need

The extra pressure

But this, you need to heed;

Want my own “country”

Not someone else’s “town”

Wake up, “Alaska”!!

‘Cos I’m cryin’ blood now!!

(Chorus)

Goodbye, “Alaska”

I’ve gotta fly

Out of your sky, ‘cos

It’s just too cold up here

Goodbye “Alaska”

Now, please don’t cry

Tears turn to ice, here

So sharp, they cut, Dear...

Goodbye “Alaska” (Bis)

Yo?!...”Alaska”??

How’s the weather out there?

Here is my postcard

Sayin’; “Wish you were here”

Say... “Alaska”??

Do you miss me sometimes?

Good bye “Alaska”....

Loved you, “Alaska”!!!
