Goodbye Stranger

Goodbye Stranger Lyrics Supertramp From The Album Breakfast in America (1979) Supertramp [Verse 1] Was an early morning yesterday I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle, like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover and I must be moving on [Verse 2] Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an anchor, like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining, shining like brand new I'll never look behind me, my troubles will be few [Chorus] Goodbye stranger, it's been nice Hope you'll find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye, Mary, goodbye, Jane Will we ever meet again? Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Sweet devotion (Goodbye, Mary), it's not for me (Goodbye, Jane) Just give me motion (Will we ever) and set me free (Meet again?) And land and the ocean (Feel no sorrow), far away (Feel no shame) The life I've chosen (Come tomorrow), every day (Feel no pain) So goodbye, Mary (Goodbye, Mary), goodbye, Jane (Goodbye, Jane) Will we ever (Will we ever) meet again? (Meet again?) [Verse 3] Now, some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behaviour, that'll never bother me Say, the devil is my saviour, but I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining, shining like brand new I'll never look behind me, my troubles will be few [Chorus] Goodbye stranger, it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye, Mary, goodbye, Jane Will we ever meet again? Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Sweet devotion (Goodbye, Mary), it's not for me (Goodbye, Jane) Just give me motion (Will we ever) and set me free (Meet again?) And land and the ocean (Feel no sorrow), far away (Feel no shame) The life I've chosen (Come tomorrow), every day (Feel no pain) And now I'm leaving (Goodbye, Mary), got to go (Goodbye, Jane) Hit the road (Will we ever), I say it once again (Meet again?) Oh yes, I'm leaving (Feel no sorrow), got to go (Feel no shame) Got to go (Come tomorrow), I'm sorry I must tell you (Feel no pain) Goodbye, Mary (Goodbye, Mary), goodbye, Jane (Goodbye, Jane) Will we ever (Will we ever) meet again? (Meet again?)
