Janis Ian
Sea and Sand
[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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 on my dreams?
So goodbye

[Bridge]
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

[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Goodbye to the sea and sand
And my holy man, goodbye
And why am I taking your hand
When you've left me 'lone to die?
I don't know why

[Post-Chorus]
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 on my dream?
So goodbye
