Leonard Cohen
Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye (Tour of 1979)
Oh yes, I loved you in the morning
Our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow
Like a sleepy golden storm
Many loved before us
I know we are not new
In city and in forest
They smile like me and you
Oh, but now it's come to distances, and
Both of us must try

Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

No, I'm not looking for another
As I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner now
Our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you
As your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes
Like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains
Or things we can't untie

Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
Goodbye

Yes, I loved you in the morning
Our kisses deep and warm
Oh, your hair upon the pillow
Like a sleepy golden storm
Many loved before us
I know we are not new
In city and in forest
They smile like me and you
Oh, but now it's come to distances, and
Both of us must try

Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
