I met her in the mountains
Though I lived down by the sea
But now it seems these mountains

Are just way too high for me

Goodbye Lorraine

Goodbye Lorraine
Let me explain


She said we'll be witches
Then there must be nakedness
I said you have no heart until

That aching fills your chest

Goodbye Lorraine

Goodbye Lorraine
Let me explain


Just why I'm leaving
I don't know what for
But I can't explain it anymore


We help hands in the temple
But we had no wedding day

Now she sends me perfumed letters
And I throw them all away


A friend showed me a picture
From the 1970's
Now I'm wondering where you are tonight

And I'm singing woe is me

Goodbye Lorraine

Goodbye Lorraine
Let me explain


Just why I'm leaving
I don't know what for
But I can't explain it anymore
