Eastern Standard Time

[Intro]

Goodbye, goodbye

Eastern standard time

It could be roses in my pocket or be roses on my stone

[Verse 1]

The waves on the shore take all of my being

Gray and habitual, resolved and serene

And I'm at your door half-smiling

All of a man half-waiting for the bell to ring

While all of those waves unwavering, unwavering

[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye

Eastern standard time

It could be roses in my pocket or be roses on my stone

Goodbye, goodbye

In this dark, dark hour of night

I'll be the only one alone, I'll be the only one alone

I'll be the only one alone

[Verse 2]

It can't be ignored though it can be screened

Oh, singing out these melodies with all I mean

So surround and adore me, arouse and implore me

The waves will roll, the waves will crash

And what left will there be?

Oh, what left will there be?

[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye

Eastern standard time

It could be roses in my pocket or be roses on my stone

Goodbye, goodbye

In this dark, dark hour of night

I'll be the only one alone, I'll be the only one alone

I'll be the only one alone, I'll be the only one alone

I'll be the only one alone, I'll be the only one alone

[Outro]

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye

The waves on the shore

Take all of my being

Goodbye, goodbye
