|
From the corner of my eye i see a tear rolling down |
|
At the time i couldn't tell whose tear it was |
|
If it was mine i should be glad |
|
That i still function in this cage |
|
But if it's yours it only makes me more lost |
|
To see a tear rolling down |
|
To see a tear rolling down |
|
This is the last call for ellis island |
|
These are the last words i'm ever gonna hear you say |
|
So goodbye, babe |
|
Goodbye, babe. |
|
I hear sweethearts whisper their undying love |
|
Above the noise on the quay their voices rise |
|
They must have something so strong in the face of such change |
|
That they can promise and promise all night |
|
Oh, their undying love, hear their undying love |
|
This is the last call for ellis island |
|
These are the last words i'm ever gonna hear you say |
|
So goodbye, babe |
|
Goodbye, babe. |
|
Oh, what you wouldn't give to be down on the pier once again |
|
Far away from the cries of this war-weary horde |
|
Time up there in the clouds must be hard to endure |
|
When your heart's unsure |
|
It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave |
|
I feel i'm sentenced to a death without appeal |
|
I can pretend it's all a dream |
|
And what i'm seeing will disappear |
|
But the end i can see is all too real |
|
Knowing you're taking leave |
|
Knowing you're taking leave |
|
This is the last call for ellis island |
|
These are the last words i'm ever gonna hear you say |
|
So goodbye, babe |
|
Goodbye, babe |
