I'm collecting people's tears they cried because they miss you
They fill the seas and all the lakes with memories the wind blew
I'd run out of jars before a second could pass
Didn't have enough time with you to turn the hourglass

Pictures in my head suddenly appear
Why d'you have to go away, it's all not very clear

Goodbye sweet angel
Sail away on teary seas
Tattooed the time we had on my memory
My legs are weak

When I close my eyes I see you, the dimples in your cheeks
I forgot to thank you for the things 'cause I didn't see you for weeks
Woke up this morning and hoped for a dream
But reality sat next to me and forced me to believe

Knocked down too soon like a skittle on the lanes
The man who took the wrong stop from life's fast moving train

Goodbye sweet angel
Sail away on teary seas
Tattooed the time we had on my memory

Funeral flowers
Won't make me believe
They can carry out the casket
And I'll still expect to see you, you, you
Come 'round tomorrow and tell me all your news

I don't ask for much from you, sleep to my lullaby
Only give me one more chance to say my last goodbye

Goodbye sweet angel
Sail away on teary seas
Tattooed the time we had on my memory

Goodbye sweet angel
Sail away on teary seas
Tattooed the time we had on my memory
My legs are weak
