Goodbye to the sea and sand
And my only man, goodbye
And why should I take your hand
When you've left me here to die
I don't know why

Buy me a silver lion's tail
To wrap around my eyes
Why am I standing here
Watching you fail
When I've spent all my life
All my dreams
So goodbye

From my window grows a tree
All the people come to stare at me
Don't you see?
I've got to leave today
Or I never will be gone
To leave today
Or I never will come
To the sea and the sun again

Goodbye to the sea and sand
And my only man, goodbye
And why should I take your hand
When you've left me here to die
I don't know why

Buy me a silver lion's tail
To wrap around my eyes
And why am I standing here
Watching you fail
When I've spent all my life
All my dreams
So goodbye
