Painful Goodbyes -

Soon you’ll be going, soon you’ll be gone

Soon you’ll be sleeping under the pond

My heart is breaking, my heart is broke

You were my final undying hope

Why must they lie?

Why must they cheat?

Why must I put them all down to sleep?

There is a river burning with fire

One wooden nickel I add to the pyre

Oh I’m so tired, oh I’m so lost

What is the price sir to lift me across?

Why must they lie?

Why must they cheat?

Why must I put them all down to sleep?

Time is a vulture pecking my brain

This is a nightmare but I won’t complain

Drink down the poison, raise up your eyes

This is the end of painful goodbyes

Why must they lie?

Why must they cheat?

Why must I put them all down to sleep?
