Goodbye Love

Sweet Maria, one leg out the window
Waiting to escape by light of moon
Can I spend a little longer with the other?
Does it have to run so soon?

Little Claudia, I can’t speak your language
And I don’t mean to be unkind
But when you put my hand upon your belly
I don’t want to know what’s on your mind

And you, my dear, the fairest of the blossoms
Though you only bloom at night
You’re at my side in sports and shorts in daytime
Dear Alex, let our love lie in the light

My mother used to say
You gotta find somewhere to stay
And the more you love, the more you leave behind
Well, I can’t say she was wrong
And my love for you is strong
But I’m afraid I must be on, goodbye, love
Goodbye, love, goodbye, love, goodbye, love
Goodbye, love
