Lyrics

I just came to tell you that I'm going
And all your tears won't change anything
As the poet said: An ill wind is blowing
So I just came to tell you that I'm going

You remember the good times and you cry
Suffocating, your face so pale
Now the hour is nigh
So it's goodbye forever
And I'm sorry to tell you but I'm going away
Yes I loved you once but hey

I just came to tell you that I'm going
And all your tears won't change anything
As the poet said: An ill wind is blowing
So I just came to tell you that I'm going

You remember the good times and you cry
Suffocating, your face so pale
Now the hour is nigh
So it's goodbye forever
And I'm sorry to tell you but I'm going away
Yes I loved you once but hey

You remember the good times and you cry
Suffocating, your face so pale
Now the hour is nigh
So it's goodbye forever
And I'm sorry to tell you but I'm going away
Yes I loved you once but hey

I just came to tell you that I'm going
And all your tears won't change anything
As the poet said: An ill wind is blowing
So I just came to tell you that I'm going

You remember the good times and you cry
Suffocating, your face so pale
Now the hour is nigh
So it's goodbye forever
And I'm sorry to tell you but I'm going away
Yes I loved you once
I loved you once but hey
