Oh dear mother What'd I've give you'll never know To hear you say "baby, it's alright" And comfort me while I go Can you hear me, daddy Can you find me and carry me home And lay me out on by dying bed I don't want to leave alone Goodbye, so long I am leaving Babylon Goodbye, so long Close your eyes and I'll be gone I pray, Lord you're out there And I pray my soul you shall keep But I hear no angels, I see no wings And I'm so afraid to sleep It won't be long now Will it be liquid or glass That breaks or drowns this poor heart And washes me away at last Goodbye, so long I am leaving Babylon Goodbye, so long Close your eyes and I'll be gone Close your eyes and I'll be gone
