I am leaving on a journey
Striking out alone
My friend has come to see me off
And now it's time to go
I want to hold him in my arms
Tuck my head and cry
But with people all around
We simply say goodbye
I am sitting with my brother
In a restauran
I'm rediscovering a long-lost friend
Listening to him talk
And knowing that he understands
And sees into my soul
I want to reach out for his hand
But that would break the rule
I am walking with my lover
The night is cool and clear
And everything he says to me
Is what I want to hear
Waiting for the light to change
We both want to embrace
But silently, we both agree
That this is not the place
I want to hold him in my arms
Tuck my head and cry
But with people all around
We simply say goodbye
We simply said goodbye
