Album: The Boy in the Back
Well I know my time is short
My days are counted and my skills are nought
I know the love I’ve spent on earth
Is not for keeping
I’ve seen your face through all the tears
Your words spoke softly all down the years
But it’s not time for idle thoughts
Nor ever should be And I’ll go easy when I go
I won’t hesitate oh, no no no
If you see me one last time
Please don’t ask me to stay behind
All the mistakes I’ve made on earth
They are my own
And the way that you give your love
You’ll find a new one to be proud of But it’s not me, and never was
Nor ever could be
(Goodbye, my loves, goodbye, goodbye)
