Well, the candle is out and the dreams begun.
Tonight has been kind of a lonely one.
My heart at a time making up my mind.
But I know in the morning the sun will shine.
We'll say goodbye to Marianne.
Tell her I've gone to the promised land.
To make my way in the world as a music man.
We'll say goodbye to Marianne.
Tell her I've gone to the promised land.
I'm sure that she will understand.
It's time for the crusade and riding thumb.
Me, my guitar, and the morning sun.
I believe in the sweet light,
my lovers and friends.
The hardest to leave is my Marianne.
We'll say goodbye to Marianne.
Tell her I've gone to the promised land.
To make my way in the world as a music man.
We'll say goodbye to Marianne.
Tell her I've gone to the promised land.
I'm sure that she will understand.
Well, you know what they say.
They say don't look back.
But it's oh so hard as I sit by the tracks.
To the east is my home, sweet home.
And to the west is where I long to roam.
It's so home.
Tell her I've gone to the promised land.
I'm sure that she will understand.
We'll say goodbye to Marianne.
Tell her I've gone to the promised land.
To make my way in the world as a music man.
