Goodbye Again Lyrics - Denver John

It's five o-clock this morning and the sun is on the rise 

There's frosting on the windows pane, and sorrow in your eyes 

The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone 

And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come 

And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you, 

Goodbye again, cause if you didn't know, it's goodbye again 

And I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go? 

It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm 

I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms 

I long to kiss the tears away and bring you back your smile 

But other voices beckon me for a little while. 

And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you, 

Goodbye again, cause if you didn't know, it's goodbye again 

And I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go? 

I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know 

and some who aren't familiar with my name 

It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand 

it's anyone who'll listen to me sing. 

And if your hours are empty now who am I to blame 

You think if I were always here, our love would be the same 

As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone 

And lying by your side the greatest peace I've ever known. 

And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you, 

Goodbye again, cause if you didn't know, it's goodbye again 

And I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go
