Lyrics:
I loved you in the morning
Her kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow
Like a sleepy golden storm
Yes many loved before us
I know we are not new
In city and in forest
They smile like me and you
But now it's come to distances
And both of us most try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

Not looking for another
As I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner
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 to the sea
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

I loved you in the morning
Our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow
Like a sleepy golden storm
It's many loved before us
I know we are not new
The city and in forest
They smile like me and you
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
