I met her in the mountains 
Though I lived down by the sea 
But now it seems these mountains 
Are just way too high for me 
Goodbye Lorraine 
Goodbye Lorraine 
Let me explain 
She said we’ll be witches 
Then there must be nakedness 
I said you have no heart until 
That aching fills your chest 
Goodbye Lorraine 
Goodbye Lorraine 
Let me explain 
Just why I’m leaving 
I don’t know what for 
But I can’t explain it anymore 
We help hands in the temple 
But we had no wedding day 
Now she sends me perfumed letters 
And I throw them all away 
A friend showed me a picture 
From the 1970's 
Now I'm wondering where you are tonight 
And I'm singing woe is me 
Goodbye Lorraine 
Goodbye Lorraine 
Let me explain 
Just why I'm leaving 
I don't know what for 
But I can't explain it anymore
