Goodbye Lucy
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.
She bought a ticket from a dot com airline
Said I'm going away
Sat me down, said I'm sorry but I must go
Well, what could I say?
She's made up her mind and there's no need for me
She's already packed and ready to leave
Goodbye to Lucy, she's going away (she's been waiting so long)
Goodbye to Lucy, she'll be okay (I'll be lost when she's gone)
And I can't believe I thought that she would stay
And now she's not coming back again
Said goodbye to her friends, left her day job, her mum and her dad
Waved her off from the window at the airport, they tell me it's just a fad
I know that this ain't good, I would go if I could
You never gave me the choice
So I must say goodbye, she'll go with every guy
I hear it all in her voice
This is not about you, this is all about me
You've gotta give me some time, maybe permanently
Goodbye to Lucy, she's going away (she's been waiting so long)
Goodbye to Lucy, she'll be okay (I'll be lost when she's gone)
And I can't believe I thought that she would stay
She said, "I'm done, I'm bored of ordinary
Don't want to be your secretary
Don't want to live this small time life with you"
I know you said i'm a joke cause your always complaining
You'll never leave, anyway when it's raining
Hope that one day I'll feel this way too
Goodbye to Lucy, she's going away
Goodbye to Lucy, she'll be okay
Goodbye to Lucy, she's going away (she's been waiting so long)
Goodbye to Lucy, she'll be okay (I'll be lost when she's gone)
Goodbye to Lucy (goodbye to Lucy), she's going away (she's been waiting so long)
Goodbye to Lucy (goodbye to Lucy), she'll be okay (I'll be lost when she's gone)
And I can't believe I thought that she would stay
