Lyrics
Falling leaf and fading tree
Lines of white in a sullen sea
Shadows rising on you and me
Shadows rising on you and me
The swallows are making them ready to fly
Wheeling out on a windy sky
Good-bye, Summer, Good-bye, Good-bye
Good-bye, Summer, Good-bye, Good-bye
Hush! A voice from the faraway
Listen and learn, it seems to say
All the tomorrows shall be as today
All the tomorrows shall be as today
The chords is frayed, the curse is dry
The link must break, and the lamp must die
Good-bye, to Hope! Good-bye, Good-bye
Good-bye, to Hope! Good-bye, Good-bye
What are we waiting for? Oh! My heart
Kiss me straight on the brows and part!
Again! Again! My heart
What are we waiting for, you and I?
A pleading look, a stifled cry
Good-bye, forever! Good-bye, forever
Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye
