Oh take me aback again, take me back again
Just take me back again to that day, take me back again
I still remember your face that day
I still remember your voice, seemed so strange
But I'm trying to remember the things that you said
Trying to imagine what must have gone through your head
And I can't forget the swollen colour of the bleeding sky
I keep imagining a storm behind your eyes
You took up your tears and waved goodbye
For the last time
Now I take up my tears and wave goodbye
For just one last time
I could have done nothing
For a friend determined to go
I could have done nothing
How come I think I should have known?
I could have done nothing for a friend
I keep remembering all the words you didn't say
I keep imagining all the clues that must have floated away
But I can't remember was it I who turned a blind eye?
Please help me remember on that day was I so very blind?
I can't imagine what I thought when you turned to go
Didn't I know, didn't I know, didn't I know
I felt December in the air but August was near
I felt December in the air but the Summer was here
Now I take up my tears and wave goodbye
For just one last time
I take up my tears I say goodbye
For just one more time – Goodbye
I take up my tears I say goodbye
For one last time
