It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay

But I must be moving on

Like a king without a castle

Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on


Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth

But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth


Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies

Sends a shiver through my veins

And I will go on shining

Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few


Goodbye stranger it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise

Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true


Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame

Come tomorrow, feel no pain

Now some they do and some they don't

And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well


You can laugh at my behavior
That'll never bother me

Say the devil is my savior
But I don't pay no heed


And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me

My troubles will be few

Goodbye stranger it's been nice etc
