The wind on my face feels inviting   like the story of some moving out   of my mouth and my lips the receiver   picks my voice up out of the crowd      and the operator then connects me   to a network of telephone lines   and my voice it goes over the wire   like it has so many times      I'm trying my best to keep my voice steady   I've finally got something to say   to you   but i can't figure out what i wanna do      so i say goodbye   simply goodbye to you   my friend   till the end   yeah goodbye   simply goodbye to you   i never thought it would come to this   your friendship is something I'll miss      and all this time   I never understood   how you could turn your back on me   but now I see   what I never understood   It's cause I've never turned my back on you      so I say goodbye   simply goodbye to you   my friend   till the end   yeah goodbye   simply goodbye   I never thought it would come to this   your friendship is something I'll miss      and if you can just sit there and take it   I'll never look back   no I will never look back   cause I know that we   were much better than that   yeah we were better than that      Goodbye, simply goodbye   To you   My friend   Till the end   of time, the end of time   goodbye, simply goodbye   to you   I never ever thought it would come to this   your friendship is something I'll miss (I'll miss)
