You laughed and called me lucky
For having you around
And you stepped up to the bar
And stated swayingThe crowd all sang of failures
We drank another round
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, babyRain fell on the window
As we watched the sailors dance
You kissed my hand and said
You were beside meI held on in a moment
When I thought there was a chance
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, babyWell, out in the distance
Where the waters fade to blue
You used to say tomorrow
Was a foolish things to doI thought I've seen it all before
But nothing quiet like you
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, babyI read to you the letters
That had blown in from the west
And we'd whisper of the dreams
That we'd been savingYou said you'd have it all
Nothing more, noting less
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, babyNow there's an emptiness
Standing at the doors
Trying to take me back
To the way I was beforeI used to feel lonely
But it's not that way no more
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, babyNow the drunks have turn to strangers
And the stars are out of tune
As I think about the one
Who might have saved meI know you're out there somewhere
'Tween the highway and the moon
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby
Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby
