The Goodbye Look |
| The surf was easy on the day I came to stay |
| On this quiet island in the bay |
| I remember a line of women all in white |
| The laughter and the steel bands at night |
| Now the Americans are gone except for two |
| The embassy’s been hard to reach |
| There’s been talk and lately a bit of action after dark |
| Behind the big casino on the beach |
| The rules are changed |
| It’s not the same |
| It’s all new players in a whole new ball game |
| Last night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray |
| I’ve had this fever now since yesterday |
| Wake up darling the Colonel’s standing in the sun |
| With his stupid face the glasses and the gun |
| I know what happens |
| I read the book |
| I believe I just got the goodbye look |
| Won’t you pour me a Cuban breeze, Gretchen? |
| I know a fellow with a motor launch for hire |
| A skinny man with two-tone shoes |
| Cause tonight they’re arranging a small reception just for me |
| Behind the big casino by the sea |
| I know what happens |
| I read the book |
| I believe I just got the goodbye look |
