Goodbye forever, goodbye forever
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Hush, a voice from the far away
Listen and learn it seems to say,
All the tomorrows shall be as today
All the tomorrows shall be as today.

The cord is frayed, the cruse is dry
The link must break and the lamp must die
Goodbye to hope, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye to hope, goodbye, goodbye.

Falling leaf and fading tree
Lines of white in a sullen sea
Shadows rising on you and me
Shadows rising on you and me.

The swallows are making them ready to fly
Wheeling out on a windy sky
Goodbye to hope, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye to hope, goodbye, goodbye.

What are we waiting for, oh my heart
Kiss me straight on the brow and part again
Again my heart, my heart
What are we waiting for you and I.

A pleading look, a stifled cry
Goodbye, forever goodbye, forever
Goodbye, goodbye.
