Goodbye Stranger
Supertramp
Goodbye Stranger (Original Version)
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
I'm 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
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Chorus:
Goodbye stranger it's 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
(Goodbye stranger it's been nice)
Seek devotion
(Hope you find your paradise)
It works for me
(Tried to see your point of view)
Just give me motion
(Hope your dreams will all come true)
Set me free
(Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane)
Land in the ocean
(Will we ever meet again)
Far away
(Feel no sorrow, feel no shame)
By my children
(Come tomorrow, feel no pain)
So goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's 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
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Chorus (x2)
