Dory Previn - Say Goodbye Lyrics

Say Goodbye
When i was a babe the sea and the sun
Were the mother's arms to which i'd run
Secure beneath the pure maternal sky.
Time went on we grew apart,
And i forgot my mothers heart
A heart deprived of love can only cry
And i am going away, i heard her say
I'm going away, i heard her say
I'm going away, won't someone say goodbye
When i was a child i ruled the earth
I owned it all, its total worth
Each fish, each field, each flower, each dragonfly
Then one day it occured to me
If i owned the earth, then the earth owns me
And each of us must live or both of us will die
And i am going away, i heard her say
Yes i'm going away, i heard her say
I'm going away, won't someone say goodbye
Alone in space we together float
A frightened crew in a fragile boat
And each of us must live or both of us will die
Each of us must live or both of us will die


after a nuclear war, ours will be a very different world. everything we know, see, hear, feel . . . all we've inherited from our ancestors, from galileo, from da vinci - we will have destroyed. all the music will be silenced: beethoven, mozart, the beatles, no more. no more the books, the bible, the human beings. most people will die. they will be the fortunate ones. the unfortunate ones will suffer a lingering illness called acute radiation. acute radiation is something never seen until the atomic bombs were dropped - by us - on hiroshima and nagasaki, in the sunny month of august, on a summer day just like today. . . .
