Lyrics

I know a place where the water's fine
I'll take you there in the fall.
Slant sun will come in––
A last glance of summer on our skin––
It's hard to say goodbye.

I'll take you there in the morning light,
Or when the dusk starts to fall,
A warm wind will rise––
I'll read the leaving in your eyes––
Goodbye, dear friend, goodbye

Summer's end takes me
Back a hundred years
To standing here waving
While your car disappears,
Blurry through the tears,
Blurry through the tears.

When you visit I'll show you round
The places we used to go––
Some got built up,
Some are just overgrown you know––
I had to say goodbye.

If you come then we'll both be changed,
I've got a few streaks of grey,
And life has been kind,
But still there's a loneliness I find––
Goodbye, dear friend, goodbye,
Goodbye, dear friend, goodbye.
