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
