Sayin' goodbye is not easy
How will I ever explain?
Everyone looks just like cardboard pictures
Falling apart in the rain

I thought I'd found a home
But life in the city, it's dark and it's dirty
So I have to go away

Lonely, yes I am, no one knows my name
I'm lost in a place, no one has a face
So I guess I'll have to go away

Sayin' goodbye is not easy
How can I ever explain?
And everything looks just like cardboard pictures
Falling apart in the rain

Running, yes I am, wave goodbye to all the trains
If I'm looking for a river that goes on forever
Then I guess I'll have to go away

Sayin' goodbye is not easy
How will I ever explain?
Everyone looks just like cardboard pictures
Falling apart in the rain
