Goodbye to Jenny

she said goodbye to Jenny
she said hello to empty
i peeled back the curtains
to find so many
what the dreamer saw
costs more than a penny
she said goodbye to Jenny
she said hello to empty
there are stars in our hallway
and the world has carried on
i know she is not here
and that Jenny has gone
i peeled back the can
and the drink tasted good
i knew you would make it
out there to a bright new world
away from those that hate
she said goodbye to Jenny
we said hello to empty
