It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on 

Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on 

Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth 

Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins 

And I will go on shining
Shining llike brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few 

Goodbye stranger it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain 

Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well 

You can laugh at my behavior
That'll never bother me
Say the devil is my savior
But I don't pay no heed 

And I will go on shining
Shining llike brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few 

Goodbye stranger it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
