(La-de da-de da-de dah. La-de da-de da-de dah.)

Goodbye to the sea and sand,

And my only man, goodbye.
And why should I take your hand,
When you've left me here to die?

I don't know why.
Buy me a silver lion's tail,
To wrap around my eyes.

And why am I standing here
Watching you fail?
When I've pinned all my life

On my dreams.
So goodbye.


By my window grows a tree,
All the people come to stare at me.
Now do you see?

I've gotta leave today,
Or I never will be gone.
To leave, today,

Or I never will come
To the sea and the sun again.


[ Instrumental break. ]

Bye to the sea and the sand,

And my only man, goodbye.
And why am I taking your hand,
When you've left me alone to die?

I don't know why.
Buy me a silver lion's tail,
I can wrap around my eyes.

And why am I standing here
Watching you fail?
When I've pinned all my life

On my dreams.
So goodbye.

(La-de da-de da-de dah. La-de da-de da-de dah.)
