"Goodbye Baby" lyrics confirmed

[Christopher]

Courtesy of Neils fantastic site.....he has posted the lyrics to "The Tower" in all their glory- this song is tragic and incredibly moving...esp the extra lines at the end that are not in the demo. Its also interesting to note the 2nd verse has been altered . The original 2nd verse -"And I who went to sleep in tears...woke up in tears...for all of the years...and I had said goodbye before and then.....I said goodbye again." has been cut from the original demo

"Don't take me to the tower
and take my child away
It was I who was
The hourglass
And the sands of time like
Shattering Glass went past me
Like a tunnel to the sea

And I who went to sleep as two
woke up as one now only you remain
You'll close your eyes and travel back
To the time when the light went fading fast
And the words you'll never never forget, oh no
as you slipped away

Goodbye Baby
I hope your heart `s not broken
Don't forget me
Yes I was outspoken
You were with me all the time
I'll be with you one day

And I who went to sleep in tears
Woke up in tears,
And I who never said goodbye
As I slipped away

Goodbye Baby..."

this song is too sad for words....
