goodbye stranger

it was an early morning yesterday

i was up before the dawn

and i really have enjoyed my stay

but i must be moving on

like a king without a castle

like a queen without a throne

i'm an early morning lover

and i must be moving on

now i believe in what you say

is the undisputed truth

but i have to have things my own way

to keep me in my youth

like a ship without an anchor

like a slave without a chain

just the thought of those sweet ladies

sends a shiver through my veins

and i will go on shining

shining like brand new

i'll never look behind me

my troubles will be few

goodbye stranger it's been nice

hope you find your paradise

tried to see your point of view

hope your dreams will all come true

goodbye mary

goodbye jane

will we ever meet again

feel no sorrow

feel no shame

come tomorrow

feel no pain

now some they do and some they don't

and some you just can't tell

and some they will and some they won't

with some it's just as well

you can laugh at my behavior

that'll never bother me

say the devil is my savior

but i don't pay no heed

and i will go on shining

shining like brand new

i'll never look behind me

my troubles will be few

goodbye stranger it's been nice etc.
