Watch Me Go

Watch me go my way
But don’t be sad and cry
My sun is setting early
In the land of long goodbye

When you see me right now
Remember, who I was ain’t who I am
So, I just keep asking myself
Is it a joke or a cruel sham?

The real me is being locked away 
In a place even I can’t find
I can’t face the bitter truth
Of leaving you far behind

Watch me go my way
But don’t be sad and cry
My sun is setting early
In the land of long goodbye

The sun is fading into the mountain	
And darkness in this life comes fast
But it’s morning in my life to come
And you’ll join me at the last

The bright Light shining on me
I’ll tell you things I couldn’t say
Never again will I forget to know
When I return to you on that day

Watch me go my way
But don’t be sad and cry
My sun is setting early
In the land of long goodbye

No reason to fret or ask why
In this land of long goodbye
