Goodbye Again

It's five o'clock this morning
And the sun is on the rise
There's frosting on the window pane
And sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly
The night is nearly gone
You slowly turn away from me
And tears begin to come
And it's goodbye again
I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again
'Cause if you didn't know
It's goodbye again
And I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
It seems a shame to leave you now
The days are soft and warm
I long to lay me down again
And hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away
And give you back your smile
But other voices beckon me and for a little while
It's goodbye again
I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again
'Cause if you didn't know
It's goodbye again
And I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
I have to go and see some friends of mine
And some that I don't know
And some who aren't familiar with my name
It's something that's inside of me
Not hard to understand
It's anyone who will listen to me sing
But if your arms are empty now
Then who am I to blame
You think if I was always here
Our love would be the same
But as it is, the time we have
Is worth the time alone
And lying by your side
The greatest peace I've ever known
But it's goodbye again
I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again
'Cause if you didn't know
It's goodbye again
And I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
