Lyrics
Black friend of the night
Why did you leave in such a hurry?
White friend of the day
You left us juggling our worries
Never say goodbye
For we'll all be with you someday
Fond adieus but never say goodbye
Like lovers in the past
They swim and surface in our memories
Questions never asked
I'll save them all for the next century
Never say goodbye
For we'll all be with you someday
Fond adieus but never say goodbye
Tell us what's over the horizon
Is it worth the chance
To hang around for more suprising?
Never say goodbye
For we'll all be with you someday
Fond adieus but never say goodbye
Black friend of the night
Why did you leave?
Writer(s): Hugh Alan Cornwell, Brian John Duffy, David Greenfield, Jean Jacques Burnel
