He left with a tear
and he left with a sight
his heart was full of sorrow
but his head was hanging high
He told me not to worry
That Id see him in time
but he left in such a hurry
that i think he changed his mind
oh x5
The people were to greedy
they told too many lies
the threes just kept on burning
and the smoke it hurts his eyes
the waves were moving faster
and pushing him away
oh the speed they were going made
it impossible to stay
oh x2
I tried to tell him
that the sea is just the sea
and if the waves could listen
im sure that theyd agree
come home and see
Farewell to your face
the oval of my eye
forgotten in the midnight
stayed til I disguise
goodbye to your eclipses
oh your getting hard to see
and that something that suggest
he isnt coming back to me
oh x4
Say his off to visit
the diamonds in the sky
cause they stay beautiful
even when they die
try not to cry
And how
Do we not see
And how
Do we not open up our eyes
and oh, when I saw him leave.
And cant we look beyond our cloudy skies
beyond our cloudy lies
cloudy lies.
