It's five o'~clock this morning, the sun is on the rise There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone You slowly turn away from me and tears begin to come
And it's Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to go?
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms I long to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile But other voices beckon me and for a little while
And it's Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to go?
I have to go and see some friends of mine, and some that I don't know And some who aren't familiar with my name It's something that's inside of me It's not hard to understand Anyone who will listen to me sing
If your arms are empty now, then who am I to blame You think if I was always here our love would be the same But as it is, the time we have is worth the time alone Lying by your side, the greatest peace I've known
Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to go?
