goodbye lorraine

i met her in the mountains

though i lived down by the sea

but now it seems these mountains

are just way too high for me

goodbye lorraine

goodbye lorraine

let me explain

she said we'll be witches

then there must be nakedness

i said you have no heart until

that aching fills your chest

goodbye lorraine

goodbye lorraine

let me explain

just why i'm leaving

i don't know what for

but i can't explain it anymore

we help hands in the temple

but we had no wedding day

now she sends me perfumed letters

and i throw them all away

goodbye lorraine

goodbye lorraine

let me explain

a friend showed me a picture

from the 1970's

now i'm wondering where you are tonight

and i'm singing woe is me"
