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 not all 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 things
'Cause I didn't see you for weeks

Woke up this morning
And hoped for a dream
But reality sat me down
And forced me to believe

Knocked down too soon
Like a skittle on the lane
The man who took the wrong stop
From life's fast moving train

Goodbye, sweet angel
Sail away on teary seas
Tattooed the times we had
On my memory, my legs are weak

Funeral flowers
Won't make me believe
They can carry out the casket
And I'll still expect you see 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 a last goodbye

So, goodbye, sweet angel
Sail away on teary seas
Tattooed the time we had
On my memory, my legs are weak
