lyrics

he came all this way just to say goodbye,
say good bye, say goodbye
she could have written a letter with smoke in the sky
she came all this way just to say goodbye

she wore her beads, I wore two-tone shoes
two-tone shoes, two-tone shoes
we got all dressed up, just to hear the news
she wore her beads, I wore two-tone shoes

Away, oh, away, oh

she left a little early, so there's plenty of time
plenty of time, there's plenty of time
I left my wristwatch home; I haven't got the time
after all this time, I haven't got the time

she always hated to say goodbye
she'd rather say "see you later", or maybe good night
she came all this way to look me in the eye
she always hated to say good bye

away, oh, away, oh

I must have gotten smoke in my eyes
in my eyes, in my eyes
I missed her mist, it knocked me down to size
knocked me down to size, with smoke in my eyes

she always hated to say goodbye
she'd rather say "see you later", or maybe good night
she came all this way
to look me in the eye
she came all this way just to say good bye
