Lyrics

I gave my love a candle
A promise at life
And I told ¦Ђ¦Ѕm when my number comes up Winds would fill the sky
Me I¦ ¦ fixin to die
Moving down that same lonesome road
No I don¦ ° know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You didn¦ ° have to fool me You didn¦ ° have to lie
My love comes ¦Ђ Ђ ound like a thief in the night
But only love can make you cry
And we have walked side by side
Moving down that same lonesome road
No I don¦ ° know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Your love was like a diamond ride a wave
on a sea that calms my mind
Moving onward to a distant shore
Where the boats sail in a line
We have danced to a fateful rhyme
Moving down the same lonesome road
No I don¦ ° know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You didn¦ ° have to fool me, no You didn¦ ° have to lie
If it all came out so ugly
It¦ Ї only my love that could make you cry
And we have walked side by side
Moving down that same lonesome road
And I still don¦ ° know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Ooh ooh ooh
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
