It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise There's frosting on the windowpane and sorrow in your eyes The stars are fading quietly, night is nearly gone So you turn away from me and tears begin to come And it's goodbye again I'm sorry to be leaving you, goodbye again As 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, your 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 a smile And other voices beckon me and for a little while It's goodbye again I'm sorry to be leaving you, goodbye again As 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, some that I don't know Some who aren't familiar with my name It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand It's anyone who'll listen to me sing If your hours are empty now, who am I to blame You'd think if I were always here, our love would be the same As it is, the time we have is worth the time alone Lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known It's goodbye again I'm sorry to be leaving you, goodbye again As 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
