Time for me to go away |
|
I'll get a new name, |
|
I'll get a new face |
|
Time for me to go away |
|
No I don't belong in this place |
|
But I'm not gonna ask you why |
|
You think the parade has passed you by |
|
Or if everything good is gone into the western sky |
|
I hate to see you look that way |
|
All the beauty has left your face |
|
That's such an easy thing to give away |
|
That's impossible to replace |
|
So I'll take you in my two weak hands |
|
And I'll throw you so high |
|
Watch you fall forever in the western sky |
|
And when you land you'll turn into some kind of prize |
|
Into somebody's sweet prize |
|
I won't see you no more |
|
Who am I to rate that high |
|
The world's a shadow of what went before |
|
The world gives off none of its own light |
|
So please be happy baby |
|
And please don't cry |
|
Even though the parade has passed us by |
|
Well you can still see it shining in the western sky |
|
So why won't you stop crying |
|
You can still see it shining |
