Don’t take me to the tower
And take my child away…
‘Twas I who was the hourglass
And the sands of time
Like shattering glass went past me
Like a tunnel to the sea…
And I who went to sleep in tears
Woke up in tears for all of the years and
I had said goodbye before, and then
I said goodbye again…
And when you hold yourself
And know that there were two
Now only you remain…
You’ll close your eyes and travel back
To the time when the light went fading fast
And the words you’ll never, never forget
As I slipped away…
Goodbye, baby…
Bye, baby…
Goodbye, baby…
Bye, baby…
Goodbye, baby…
Bye, baby…
Goodbye, baby…
Bye, baby…
