I never knew you were standing on this shore
It says everything, explains everything
And then from then on it couldn't be just like before
It says everything, changes everything

So don't just stand there wishing your life would fade away
Don't you go around with anyone who makes you feel ashamed

Goodbye paradise
I hope that someday you could try
Goodbye
You're so changed that you'd give it all away
Goodbye, goodbye

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 around with that same old crowd
They make you feel ashamed

Goodbye paradise
I hope there's something you could try
Goodbye
But 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
