I met her in the mountains   Though I lived down by the sea   And now it seems these mountains   Are just way too high for me      Goodbye Lorraine   Goodbye Lorraine   Let me explain      She said, "It will be witches   Then there must be nakedness"   I said, "You have no heart until   That aching fills your chest"      Goodbye Lorraine   Goodbye Lorraine   Let me explain      Just why I'm leaving   I don't know what for   But I can't explain it anymore      We help hands in the temple   But we had no wedding day   Now she sends me perfumed letters   And I throw them all away      Goodbye Lorraine   Goodbye Lorraine   Let me explain      A friend showed me a picture   From the 1970's   Now I'm wondering where you are tonight   And I'm singing woe is me      Goodbye Lorraine   Goodbye Lorraine   Let me explain      Just why I'm leaving   I don't know what for   Well, I can't explain it anymore
