From the corner of nay eye I see a tear rollin' clown

At the time I couldn't tell whose tear it was

If it was mine I should bc glad

That I still function in this cage

But if it's yours it only makes me more lost

To see a tear rollin" clan

To see a tear rolling clown



This is the last call for Ellis Island

These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say

So goodbye babe, goodbye



I hear sweethearts whisper their undying love

Above the noise on the quay their voices rise

They must have something so strong

in the face of such change

That they can promise and promise all night

Oh their undying love, hear their undying love



This is the last call for Ellis Island

These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say

So goodbye babe, goodbye



Oh what you wouldn't give to bc down

on the pier once again

Far away from the cries of this war-weary horde

Time up there in the clouds must be hard to endure

When your heart's unsure



It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave

I feel I'm sentenced to death without appeal

I can pretend it's all a dream

Anil what I'm seeing will disappear

But the end I can see is all too real

Knowing you're taking leave

Knowing you're taking leave



This is the last call for Ellis Island

These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say

So goodbye babe, goodbye babe

This is the last call for Ellis Island

These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say

So goodbye babe, goodbye
