1. Every-one has gone a-way;
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

No one cared enough to stay.
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

R: You must remember me, old man,
I know that you can if you try.
So just open up your eyes, old man,
Look who's come to say good-bye.

2. The sun has left the sky, old man,
The birds have flown a-way.
And no one came to cry, old man,
Good-bye, old man, good-bye.

3. You want to stay, I know you do,
But it ain't no use to try.
'Cos I'll be here, and I'm just like you,
Good-bye, old man, good-bye.

R: Won't be no God to comfort you,
You taught me not to believe that lie.
You don't need anybody, no-body needs you;
Don't cry, old man, don't cry;
Every-body dies.
