[Verse 1:] I never knew you were standing on the shore, It says everything, Explains everything. That from then on it couldn't be just like before, it says everything, Changes everything. So don't you stand there wishing your life would fade away And don't you go round with anyone who makes you feel ashamed. [Chorus:] Goodbye paradise, I hope there's something you could try Goodbye You're so changed that you'd give it all away Goodbye, Goodbye [Verse 2:] 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 round with that same old crowd, They make you feel ashamed [Chorus:] Goodbye paradise, I hope there's something you could try Goodbye 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
