Goodbye
look into the dreary sky
what a day to say goodbye
weep upon your satin pillow
hoist the flag, watch it billow
for tomorrow there will be no me
but it's not a time for misery
my sins will never be forgotten
if you ask God he'll say I'm rotten
to these sins I can contest
lay my body down to rest
in the soil beneath the earth
like a fire in a hearth
by the time you've looked into the sky
I have already said goodbye
