Goodbye Stranger by Supertramp
It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on
Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
Im an early morning lover
And I must be moving on
Now I believe in what you say
Its the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth
Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
Ill never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger its been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye mary, goodbye jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just cant tell
And some they will and some they wont
and some its just as well
You can laugh at my behavior
that'll never bother me
Say the devil is my savior
But I don't pay no heed
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
Ill never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger
its been nice...
