Tonight I weep because of you
Tomorrow I’ll depart anew
I’ll never choose to come back here
So, darling, this goodbye’s sincere
Chorus (repeat twice)
Bestow one kiss on an old friend dear
With gentle tears, our end draws near
Our love, alas, refused to grow
For you, your mother chose the road
Verse 2
I’ll think of you through all my days
Of all our tender, fleeting ways
Let’s drain the cup of joy we’ve known
And leave behind this empty throne
Chorus (repeat twice)
Bestow one kiss on an old friend dear
With gentle tears, our end draws near
Our love, alas, refused to grow
For you, your mother chose the road
Verse 3
Your wedding bells ring sharp and clear
Yet at that feast, I’ll not appear
I’ll roam the world to find my part
To seek the happiness we lost apart
Verse 1
How many midnight trains must I await and miss,
How many journeys must I sacrifice for bliss?
To build with someone a nest of love so true,
So that the perfect one may come to me too.
Chorus
Where do forsaken girls stray in the night,
Do you, my love, ever ask if they’re all right?
Can you hear their messages pleading for care,
Will tears fill your eyes when you read their despair?
Verse 2
How many rain-washed roads must I leave behind,
How many weary steps before peace fills my mind?
To banish the past and its heavy weight,
And in the joyful flock, I’ll find my fate.
Chorus
Where do forsaken girls stray in the night,
Do you, my love, ever ask if they’re all right?
Can you hear their messages pleading for care,
Will tears fill your eyes when you read their despair?
ofc he will know
