Goodbye song

Karin Boehme 1978 (Groblersdal)

Everybody says goodbye
Everybody has to go
Some slow
Some sudden
Some with words
Some just go
In the mist of the jungle
the tiger hides low
Ticking ticking slow
memories like a little fluffy lamb
like a light wind blows
I look up and the lamb is gone
the tiger hides low
Time is ticking ticking
Memories drink from my hollow pain
