On a mountain top in eastern Tennessee
Watching the sun set in the mist
Mom and dad, wife, sister, brother-in-law and niece
Flesh and blood and love all together mixed

Local moonshine and the smell of rain in the air
Our laughter echoed through the trees
We gathered there in the middle summer heat
With three sets of ashes to release

This is how we say goodbye
This is how we say goodbye
This is how we say goodbye to those we love

Seventy years ago after the Second World War
My grandparents honeymooned in this very place
Then my mom was born and four years later came
Her brother, my uncle Curt

All three of them left us in the blink of an eye
One after another, after another they were gone
I felt helpless to do anything so I did what I could
And remembered them in song

Now I put my hands in their earthly remains
And toss the gray grit into the breeze
I’m not a religious man but I say a prayer anyway:
May their ghosts be together and free

This is how we say goodbye
This is how we say goodbye
This is how we say goodbye to those we love
