She's leavin' she's leavin' she's on the ship now and leavin'
|
Standing by the gateway tossin' streamers over my way I find it kinda hard believin'
|
Deceivin' deceivin' my subtle game of deceivin'
|
Standing here and waving blowin' kisses and behavin'
|
Like it doesn't matter much to see her leavin'
|
|
I don't know what I don't know who I don't know where she's goin' to
|
I only know she's goin' out of my life
|
Across the sea a wavin' hands and Col'nel Billy's farewell band
|
I watch the disappearin' face of my wife
|
And I'm doin' all I can to hide the sad confusion in my mind
|
And brace myself with every trick I know
|
And though my lips are beating time to the words of Auld Lang Syne
|
My voice keeps on defyin' cryin' Bonnie please don't go
|
|
Oh that fool in me persuadin' me to hide the broken pieces of my dignity
|
When a simple reassuring word just to reach out and comfort her
|
Was all I had to say to keep her here with me
|
And I don't know what I don't know where I don't know who she's goin' to...
|
She's leavin' she's leavin'...
|
