'goodbye' to start a sad song
don't feel like the right thing to do
but these words, like sea birds
fly out and seem to know what to do

if i can never hold you again
i'll whisper your name on the rain
and i'll sail on heaven's seas with you

sail's tight, wind's right
look back to see the bay bask in blue
under orange and gold, the story unfolds
you sleep like a starfish alone

if i can never hold you again
i'll whisper your name on the rain
and i'll sail on heaven's seas with you

the radio shouts "the pirates are out"
clocked just off the coast of brazil
that night, in twilight
you were shot down for gold I could have scooped from my heart

if i can never hold you again
i'll whisper your name on the rain
and i'll sail on heaven's seas with you
