On the marble street
A procession spills in
At the White Sea wall
Waves crash and crash again

Darkness shining
Then disappearing
Day follows night, night follows day
Comes like a stranger then it drifts away
Day follows night, night follows day

Goodbye
Goodbye to beauty
Goodbye
Goodbye to beauty

Goodbye
Goodbye to beauty
Goodbye
Goodbye to beauty

In a mansion above
The ceremony begins
On a bandstand below
The conductor laments

The dogs are whining
Something's changing
Day follows night, night follows day
Makes like a friend before it slips away
Day follows night, night follows day

Goodbye
Goodbye to beauty
Goodbye
Goodbye to beauty

Goodbye
Goodbye to beauty
Goodbye
Goodbye to beauty
