Goodbye Stranger

Chloe and I dropped off Matt at the train station this morning. As we were pulling away I turned on the radio. A new song came on after a few minutes. It was an old song I knew I had heard before but didn't know anything else about it. Chloe began to yell, "This is MY song Mommy! This is Chloe's song." I called Matt to see if he knew the song. He didn't recognize it.

Apparently my 3 year old has selected her "theme" song and she was adamant it was HERS so when we returned home I Googled some of the lyrics I could recall and good old Google didn't fail me. Not quite sure what Chloe is trying to say in selecting this as her "theme" song but she swears it's hers.

Supertramp--Goodbye Stranger

It was an early morning yesterday

I was up before the dawn

And I really have enjoyed my stay

But I must be moving on

Like a king without a castle

Like a queen without a throne

I'm an early morning lover

And I must be moving on

Now I believe in what you say

Is the undisputed truth

But I have to have things my own way

To keep me in my youth

Like a ship without an anchor

Like a slave without a chain

Just the thought of those sweet ladies

Sends a shiver through my veins

And I will go on shining

Shining like brand new

I'll never look behind me

My troubles will be few

Goodbye stranger it's been nice

Hope you find your paradise

Tried to see your point of view

Hope your dreams will all come true

Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane

Will we ever meet again

Feel no sorrow, feel no shame

Come tomorrow, feel no pain

Sweet devotion is not for me

Just give me motion, set me free

The land and the ocean, far away

The life I've chosen every day

So goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane

Will we ever meet again

Now some they do and some they don't

And some you just can't tell

And some they will and some they won't

With some it's just as well

You can laugh at my behavior

That'll never bother me

Say the devil is my savior

But I don't pay no heed

And I will go on shining

Shining like brand new

I'll never look behind me

My troubles will be few

Goodbye stranger it's been nice

Hope you find your paradise

Tried to see your point of view

Hope your dreams will all come true

Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane

Will we ever meet again

Feel no sorrow, feel no shame

Come tomorrow, feel no pain

Sweet devotion is not for me

Just give me motion, set me free

The land and the ocean, far away

The life I've chosen every day

Now I'm leavin' - got to go

Hit the road - I'll say it once again

Oh, yes I'm leavin' - got to go

Got to go now

I'm sorry I must tell you

Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane

Will we ever meet again
