Goodbye Little Columbus
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.
The plane is waiting, you must to go
'Goodbye I'm gonna miss you'
And all the things you say at a leaving
Ah just turn your head and walk away
Goodbye little Columbus
Goodbye, I'll see you one day
Goodbye little Columbus
Travelling, just travelling
That certain moment, the final call
And that desperate search for 'C'est la vie'
Oh what you'd give to hear of a slight delay
Ah just turn your head and walk away
Walk away, just walk away
Goodbye little Columbus
Goodbye, I'll see you one day
Goodbye little Columbus
Travelling, just travelling
You've made up your mind
And you've got to go
