Colin Hay â Goodbye my red rose
I didn t love you till you d gone
You told me not to give my heart away
You were right and I was wrong
I should have known, I couldn t make you stay
I bless the day you were born
I curse the day you saw into me
You said my eyes were so forlorn
Now when I m alone I let my tears run free
They flow so easy, easily
So goodbye my red rose
Your memory won t fade away
When the curtain falls
We know you won t be back for more
I wonder where you hang your clothes
But on this I never dwell too long
I asked around but no one knows
I should have known that would be your way
Not to, not to say
So goodbye my red rose
In the spring your scent will grow
There s no more curtain calls
And the man has put all the chairs away
So goodbye my red rose
There s no more, no more curtain calls
