|
You laughed and called me lucky |
|
For having you around |
|
And you stepped up to the bar |
|
And stated swaying |
|
The crowd all sang of failures |
|
We drank another round |
|
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby |
|
Rain fell on the window |
|
As we watched the sailors dance |
|
You kissed my hand and said |
|
You were beside me |
|
I held on in a moment |
|
When I thought there was a chance |
|
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby |
|
Well, out in the distance |
|
Where the waters fade to blue |
|
You used to say tomorrow |
|
Was a foolish things to do |
|
I thought |
|
I've seen it all before |
|
But nothing quiet like you |
|
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby |
|
I read to you the letters |
|
That had blown in from the west |
|
And we'd whisper of the dreams |
|
That we'd been saving |
|
You said you'd have it all |
|
Nothing more, noting less |
|
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby |
|
Now there's an emptiness |
|
Standing at the doors |
|
Trying to take me back |
|
To the way |
|
I was before |
|
I used to feel lonely |
|
But it's not that way no more |
|
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby |
|
Now the drunks have turn to strangers |
|
And the stars are out of tune |
|
As I think about the one |
|
Who might have saved me |
|
I know you're out there somewhere' |
|
Tween the highway and the moon |
|
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby |
|
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby |
