Goodbye Stan Lyrics


John & Mary & The Valkyries Goodbye Stan


Stan knew the kids were hungry
He could see it in their eyes
He knew his wife was restless
He caught her in some lies

He knelt beside his granddad
Buried there beside a hill
And he prayed he had his patience
But he knew he never will.

Stan heard rumors after Christmas
That the mills were shutting down
The union should do something,
Anything to save the town

At the Legion banquet
Stan was drinking with some friends
Who shared a little secret
How to find the rainbow's end

That Friday at the Grange Hall
When they'd given him some seed
Had borne a new beginning
All the things they'd ever need

The flowers bloomed in springtime
The west wind brought the fall
They now were really family
With the special days and all

These days won't last forever
To think that he'd be a fool
But for now things were so rosy
And the kids were taking interest in school,
They look so pretty,
Dressed in white and going to the church on Sunday morning,
Glowing,
Lynne was beaming sunshine like the day she let him take her for his bride.
