I never knew you were standing on this shore It says everything, explains everything And then from then on it couldn't be just like before It says everything, changes everything So don't just stand there wishing your life would fade away Don't you go around with anyone who makes you feel ashamed Goodbye paradise I hope that someday you could try Goodbye You're so changed that you'd give it all away Goodbye, goodbye I saw your face in the faded light Said everything, explained everything It haunts all your days and it comes to you at night You did everything, blame anything But don't you cut those ribbons to take away the pain And don't you go around with that same old crowd They make you feel ashamed Goodbye paradise I hope there's something you could try Goodbye But you're so changed that you'd give it all away Goodbye, goodbye paradise The sea The majestic sea Breaks everything Crushes everything Cleans everything Takes everything From me
