Lyrics
Goodbye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was you that took my soul
Threw it in the fire
Tamed it in the rapture
Filled me with desire
Now I'm pure, now I'm clean
I feel cured and serene in you
There is no denying
How I have been changed
You won't hear me crying
Now misery is strange
I can dream, I can fly
Now it seems I get by with you
Goodbye pain
Goodbye again
I was always looking
Looking for someone
Someone to stick my hook in
Pull it out and run
Now I'm caught on your line
All my thoughts are entwined in you
Goodbye pain
Goodbye again
If you see me walking
To the Golden Gates
Turn around, start talking
Stop and hesitate
I'll be waiting up there
With my fate in the air for you
Goodbye
