Lyrics

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, why am i standing here, watching you fail, when i've spent all my life, all my dreams, so goodbye, from my window grows a tree, all the people come to stare at me, don't you see?, i've got to leave today, or i never will be gone, to leave today, or i never will come, to the sea and the sun again, 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 spent all my life, all my dreams, so goodbye
