I [bad word] to tell you that it's good-bye
all your tears couldn't change the reason why
as Verlaine's evil wind blows up on high
I [bad word] to tell you that it's good-bye
you remember the old days, and tears roll
choke and grow pale at the moment
you know the bell will tole
now the hour is nigh
yea, I regret
to tell you it's good-bye
yes, I loved you
yes, but
I [bad word] to tell you that it's good-bye
your sobbing cannot change the reason why
as Verlaine's evil wind blows up on high
I [bad word] to tell you that it's good-bye
you remember the good times and tears flow
you sob and you groan when you realize I'll really go
now the hour is nigh
yea, I regret
to tell you it's good-bye
but I can't bear to hear you cry
I [bad word] to tell you it's good-bye
all your tears couldn't change the reason why
as Verlaine's evil wind blows up on high
I [bad word] to tell you that it's good-bye
you remember the good times and tears flow
you sob and you groan when you realize 
I'll really go
