Sea And Sand - Janis Ian

Goodbye to the sea and sand

And my only man, goodbye

And why should I take your hand

When you’ve left me here to die

I don’t know why

Buy me a silver lion’s tail

To wrap around my eyes

Why am I standing here

Watching you fail

When I’ve spent all my life

All my dreams

So goodbye

From my window grows a tree

All the people come to stare at me

Don’t you see?

I’ve got to leave today

Or I never will be gone

To leave today

Or I never will come

To the sea and the sun again

Goodbye to the sea and sand

And my only man, goodbye

And why should I take your hand

When you’ve left me here to die

I don’t know why

Buy me a silver lion’s tail

To wrap around my eyes

And why am I standing here

Watching you fail

When I’ve spent all my life

All my dreams

So goodbye
