Tekst en muziek: Randy Newman
(1973)
Everyone has gone away
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
No one cared enough to stay
Can you hear me
You must remember me, old man
I know that you can, if you try
So, just open up your eyes, old man
Look who’s come to say: “Goodbye”
The sun has left the sky, old man
The birds have flown away
And no one came to cry, old man
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
You wanna stay, I know you do
But it ain’t no use to try
’Cause I’ll be here and I’m just like you
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
Won’t be no God to comfort you
You taught me not to believe that lie
You don’t need anybody, nobody needs you
Don’t cry, old man, don’t cry
Everybody dies
