Last night I had the darkest dream I've ever had before The lamplight made a foreign scene Of lesser-known allure You had me in a sideways glance You rang the bells of circumstance My footprints are on fire Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye From the moment we are born we try To never say goodbye The afternoon's a vanquishing Of every good intent The hope within the morning hours Is broken if not bent You've written all your fortunes bare You've made your bed, you're lying there My footprints are on fire Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye What kind of precious fool am I To never say goodbye They've got us by the millions babe They've got us by the trial They captured every world you say They turn them to the wild And when the evening turns to night We all go searching for the light My footprints are on fire Never say good-bye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye From the moment we are born we try To never say goodbye Never say goodbye What kind of precious fool am I To never say goodbye
