Goodbye Again

(álbum: Have You Never Been Mellow - 1975)

It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise
There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
You slowly turn away from me and tears begin to come

And it's
Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, 'cause 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, the days are soft and warm
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile
But other voices beckon me and for a little while

It's
Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, 'cause 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 will listen to me sing

But if your arms are empty now, then who am I to blame
You think if I was always here our love would be the same
But as it is, the time we have is worth the time alone
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known

But it's
Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, 'cause 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?
