Those are the correct lyrics, when I first heard it I thought I was hearing it wornd, so I looked up lyrics and those are the right ones. Maybe this is a boneheaded question, but still what is the breast of goodybye?

Whoa, I really killed that word, wornd = wrong. Guess it is not a good idea to type in the dark, unless you are a pro.

This was also posted on the cmt board and a person on there said this about the other interpretation- "in this instance, it means; meet in full. To contend with (prepare to meet the difficulties of the journey)".
I have never heard of it meaning that also, but I suppose it does make a little more sense than rest if that is a correct definition. Anyway, through my own listening and from watching tapes over again, I think the word really is 'rest'.

To settle the question once and for all I e-mailed Sarah Siskind directly, so if she replies we will all know for sure. But all of this begs the question, When will AKUS put out a songbook for the last 2 or 3 albums, either that or start printing the lyrics in the CD covers again?? Another song I can't make out very well, "Crazy as Me" on the LRBW CD. In the first verse, this is what I hear: "I'm used to bein' alone, except for six my planes with diamond rings and phone bills that I play the phone; this is the life that I chose, I got no complaints if he is, if he ain't and if he is I guess he'll send me a rose." Does that make sense? I dunno. Opinions, anyone?

Apologies to Hollywood 15 and Akusgal41790, but here is the end of the discussion, from Sarah Siskind herself: "The correct lyrics are 'I'll be leaving with the rest if goodbye is all we have.' The first time I heard that people thought it was "breast of goodbye", I couldn't beleive it, since that doesn't make any sense. I tried to post the lyrics to a couple of websites, but I don't know if many of them have been corrected. I agree that it looks like she's saying a "b" in the video, but that is just how it looks. I was at the video shoot, so I know she sang them correctly. (That's me on the bus about halfway back with the dark hair!) Here are the correct lyrics in full, straight from my pen. (These are actually the original lyrics - Alison made a couple adjustments.) Thanks for verifying with me." I'm soaring the sky - I can hear the birds and man they don't lie How you gonna catch me when I'm this high? I'm movin' on - got the words to a brand new song How you gonna catch me when I'm this gone? Gone tomorrow, here today Just in case you've got something to say I'll be leaving with the rest if goodbye is all we have I disconnected the phone - told the neighbors I'll be heading on As soon as the light hits the lawn I'm headed north - gonna see how much this old heart's really worth I guess it's time to be on my own Gone tomorrow here today.....etc I sure would love to see you tonight - maybe try to end this fight If I don't hear you knocking at my door - then I'll know for sure...

No appologies needed!
'Crazy As Me' always gets me too. I usually figure out for myself what I think they might be, and then go to different lyric sites and find that they're completely different, so they really never help. To me, it sounds like '6 month planes with diamond rings'.. but that makes no sense what so ever. It almost sounds like a mix between planes and flings. But, the real word probably is flings. I'm with Kate. It's 'phone bills that outweigh the phone' as far as I can tell.
Since we're talking about different lyrics, I have a question about the ones to 'Crazy Faith'. This is what I thought the last few verses to be, but I've seen that other people think differently:
Am I a fool for hanging on? Would I be a fool to be long gone? When is daylight gonna dawn On my crazy faith? The questions will not let me sleep Answers buried way too deep At the bottom of a loveless game (??) Made by crazy faith
Love your losing, lose your love Let the hawk fly from the glove And do not search the skies above Search your crazy faith Love is lightning, love is ice It only strikes the lucky twice Once so you will know the price And once for crazy faith

Crazy As Me by R.L. Castleman
I’m used to bein’ alone except for six-month flings with diamond rings and phone bills that outweigh the phone this is the life that I chose I’ve got no complaints if he is, if he ain’t, and if he is, I guess he’ll send me a rose
Just don’t ask me for the truth if you choose to lie, honey and don’t try to open my door with your skeleton key Some folks seem to think I’ve only got one problem I can’t find nobody as crazy as me
I still love what I know I love to ride along and sing a song and listen to the radio You can ride along and if you change your mind, well that’s just fine but there’s something that you’ve got to know
Just don’t ask me for the truth if you choose to lie, honey and don’t try to open my door with your skeleton key Some folks seem to think I’ve only got one problem I can’t find nobody as crazy as me
Just don’t ask me for the truth if you choose to lie, honey and don’t try to open my door with your skeleton key Some folks seem to think I’ve only got one problem I can’t find nobody as crazy as me
