Ellis Island |
| From the corner of my eye I see a tear rolling down |
| At the time I couldn’t tell whose tear it was |
| If it was mine I should be glad |
| That I still function in this cage |
| But if it’s yours it only makes me more lost |
| To see a tear rolling down |
| To see a tear rolling down |
| This is the last call for Ellis Island |
| These are the last words I’m ever gonna hear you say |
| So goodbye, babe |
| Goodbye, babe |
| I hear sweethearts whisper their undying love |
| Above the noise on the quay their voices rise |
| They must have something so strong in the face of such change |
| That they can promise and promise all night |
| Oh, their undying love, hear their undying love |
| This is the last call for Ellis Island |
| These are the last words I’m ever gonna hear you say |
| So goodbye, babe |
| Goodbye, babe |
| Oh, what you wouldn’t give to be down on the pier once again |
| Far away from the cries of this war-weary horde |
| Time up there in the clouds must be hard to endure |
| When your heart’s unsure |
| It’s like a knife in my gut knowing you’re taking leave |
| I feel I’m sentenced to a death without appeal |
| I can pretend it’s all a dream |
| And what I’m seeing will disappear |
| But the end I can see is all too real |
| Knowing you’re taking leave |
| Knowing you’re taking leave |
| This is the last call for Ellis Island |
| These are the last words I’m ever gonna hear you say |
| So goodbye, babe |
| Goodbye, babe |
