Farewell, Angelina Lyrics - Joan Baez

Farewell Angelina 

The bells of the crown 

Are being stolen by bandits 

I must follow the sound 

The triangle tingles 

And the trumpet play slow 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky is on fire 

And I must go. 

There's no need for anger 

There's no need for blame 

There's nothing to prove 

Ev'rything's still the same 

Just a table standing empty 

By the edge of the sea 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky is trembling 

And I must leave.

The jacks and queens 

Have forsaked the courtyard 

Fifty-two gypsies 

Now file past the guards 

In the space where the deuce 

And the ace once ran wild 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky is folding 

I'll see you in a while. 

See the cross-eyed pirates sitting 

Perched in the sun 

Shooting tin cans 

With a sawed-off shotgun 

And the neighbors they clap 

And they cheer with each blast 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky's changing color 

And I must leave fast.

King Kong, little elves 

On the rooftoops they dance 

Valentino-type tangos 

While the make-up man's hands 

Shut the eyes of the dead 

Not to embarrass anyone 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky is embarrassed 

And I must be gone. 

The machine guns are roaring 

The puppets heave rocks 

The fiends nail time bombs 

To the hands of the clocks 

Call me any name you like 

I will never deny it 

Farewell Angelina 

The sky is erupting 

I must go where it's quiet.
