Goodbye to Beauty

On the marble street A procession spills in At the White Sea wall Waves crash and crash again Darkness shining Disappearing Day follows night, night follows day Comes like a stranger then it drifts away Day follows night, night follows day Goodbye Goodbye to beauty Goodbye Goodbye to beauty Goodbye Goodbye to beauty Goodbye Goodbye to beauty In a mansion above The ceremony begins On a bandstand below The conductor laments Dogs are whining Something's changing Day follows night, night follows day Makes like a friend before it slips away Day follows night, night follows day Goodbye Goodbye to beauty Goodbye Goodbye to beauty Goodbye Goodbye to beauty Goodbye Goodbye to beauty
