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

There's frosting on the windowpane 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.



(CHORUS) And it's goodbye, again

I'm sorry to be leaving you

Goodbye, again

As 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, you lay so soft and warm

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

I long to wipe the tears away and bring you back the smile

But other voices beckon me and for a little while...



(CHORUS)



Have to go and see some friends of mine

Some that I don't know

Some who aren't familiar with my name

It's something that's inside of me

Not hard to understand

If anyone will listen to me sing



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

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

But as it is the time we have is worth the time alone

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



(CHORUS)
