Cloaked in black like the stars, so wrapped up in yourself you are   The needle taste sweeter by far than the cold light of day   And as you become enslaved to the puppy that you grief   There is nothing I can do to save you from slipping away   And I just wanted, just needed to say   I hate to see you wasting away, just wasting away      So when you just can't take anymore and the nappy comes too full of pain   You reach for the comfort of your white stallion again   And I just wanted, just needed to say   I hate to see you wasting away, just wasting away   Just wasting away      I've seen the fire die away, I've seen the sunset in your eyes   I've seen the darkness coming down and I just needed to say good bye      So you're dancing with the candy man, he's saving the last words for you   And as he leads you away by the hand there is nothing I can do   There is nothing I can do   Goodbye to you, goodbye to you
