It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise.

There's frosting on the windowpane and sorrow in your eyes.

The stars are fading quietly, night is nearly gone.

And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come,

and it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you.

Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again,

and I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?

It seems a shame to leave you now, you lay so soft and warm.

I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms.

I long to kiss your tears away and give you back your smile.

But other voices beckon me and for a little while it's goodbye again,

Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again,

and I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?

I have to go and see some friends of mine and some that I don't know,

and some who aren't familiar with my name.

It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand, it's anyone who'll listen to me sing.

If your hours are empty now, who am I to blame?

Do you think if I were always here, our love would be the same?

As it is, the time we have is worth the time alone.

And lying by your side's the greatest peace I've ever known, and it's goodbye again,

Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again,

and I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?

Child you're talking of freedom

Painted on your garden wall

It's not there at all

Child you're talking of wisdom

You say wisdom is a golden rule

You ain't no fool

But you don't know who it is

Who calls you name

In the light of the golden moon

You don't know who it is who brought you here

And chained up your heart

So soon

Child you're life is a fairytale

And it's not the same

And the clouds

You're hiding behind

In your misty mind have disappeared

Like a sailor far from the shores of your dreams

And far from the love of your home

Sailor lost on your own misty seas

And the chains on your heart, baby

Might be my love

Might be my love

It's so confusing

And you feel that you're loosing yourself

But, there over the mountain

You thought you'd never have to climb

There's a road

Reaching and stretching

To the corner of your mind

Like a river casts aside the dust

And grows and grows as it flows

The feeling deep inside of you

Must break like a dam

So set you free

So set you free

So set you free

If you see me walking down the street

And I start to cry each time we meet

Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe

that you don't see the tears

Just let me grieve

in private 'cause each time I see you

I break down and cry

And walk on by (don't stop)

And walk on by (don't stop)

And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you

And so if I seem broken and blue

Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride

Is all that I have left

So let me hide

The tears and the sadness you gave me

When you said goodbye

Walk on by

and walk on by

and walk by (don't stop)

Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride

Is all that I have left

So let me hide

The tears and the sadness you gave me

When you said goodbye

Walk on by (don't stop)

and walk on by (don't stop)

and walk by (don't stop)

If I needed you

Would you come to me,

Would you come to me,

And ease my pain?

If you needed me

I would come to you

I'd swim the seas

For to ease your pain

In the night forlorn

The morning's born

And the morning shines

With the lights of love

You will miss sunrise

If you close your eyes

That would break

My heart in two

The lady's with me now

Since I showed her how

To lay her lily

Hand in mine

Loop and Lil agree

She's a sight to see

And a treasure for

The poor to find
