I hope you like it.

Lyrics: Donna Devine
Young Man, Goodbye (v1)
Strangers in a bookshop
Hiding from the rain
Mutual attraction
Although it was quite plain
The difference in our ages
Could only be a strain
(v2)
First a book of poems
Then your favourite CD
Tickets to the movies
Little gifts you gave to me
But most of all your trust
That we might always be
Pre-chorus
But I knew more than you
And at the end of autumn
did the kindest thing [that]
I could do
Chorus
I made you cry
I broke your heart
And though you didn't know
I broke mine too
But you'd be fine
You'd make your way
It was so hard to say
It's time for you to go
Young man, goodbye
Bridge
You learned love in my arms
I hope you gave it away
To somebody wonderful
One day
Oh I don't think of you a lot
But let me say
Now you've seen something
Of life's rise and fall
If you ever think of me
Please do it kindly
If you remember me at all
Pre-chorus
Yes I knew more than you
And at the end of autumn
did the kindest thing [that]
I could do
Chorus
I made you cry
I broke your heart
And though you didn't know
I broke mine too
But you'd be fine
You'd make your way
It was so hard to say
It's time for you to go
Young man, goodbye
Outro
You've seen life's rise and fall
And if you ever think of me
Please do it kindly
If you remember me at all

Honour the Earth. Without it, we'd be nowhere.
