Goodbye Stranger
Composer(s): Roger Hodgson; Rick Davies
Performer(s): Supertramp



It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be movin' on

Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early mornin' lover 
And I must be movin' on

Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
Just to keep me in my youth

Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my brains

And I will go on shining
Shinin' like brand new.
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few

Chorus:
Goodbye stranger, it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true

Goodbye, Mary
Goodbye, Jane
Will we ever meet again?
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain

And sweet devotion, it's not for me
Just give me motion and set me free
And the land and the ocean far away
Is the life I've chosen everyday

Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well

You can laugh at my behaviour
That'll never bother me
Say the devil is my saviour
But I won't pay no heed

Chorus (Repeat)
