Time for me to go away
I'll get a new name, I'll get a new face
Time for me to go away
No I don't belong in this placeBut I'm not gonna ask you why
You think the parade has passed you by
Or if everything good is gone into the western skyI hate to see you look that way
All the beauty has left your face
That's such an easy thing to give away
That's impossible to replaceSo I'll take you in my two weak hands
And I'll throw you so high
Watch you fall forever, forever in the western sky
And when you land then you'll turn
You'll turn into some kind of prize, into somebody's sweet prizeI won't see you no more
Who am I to rate that high
The world's a shadow of what went before
The world gives off none of its own lightSo please be happy baby and please don't cry
Even though the parade, the parade has passed us by
Well you can still see it shining, shining in the western sky
In the western skyYou can still see it shining
You can still see it shining, you can still see it shining
So why won't you stop crying
You can still see it shining
