th Fret Intro: No borderline, no borderline... Piano - Took a boat over Lake Geneva It was raining all night long We were lucky and we saw no enemy And came from Switzerland, poor refugees Far from the guns of war We said goodbye to it all They brought us in to a nurse's station Half a mile behind the lines Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking To see the children, and the walking wounded Hoping for a ticket home And say goodbye to it all I woke up on a cold blue morning To see her there, standing right beside me Long years since I left her at the borderline And how she found me, I'd never know But we decided there and then To say goodbye to it all To it all Say goodbye to it all Say goodbye to it all Took a train from Paris to the ocean Found a small hotel by the coast As we walked along the beaches of Normandy We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold And whispered a prayer for the boys Who said goodbye to it all Now we've got our own place by the water And I have a job in the old hotel She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter Well I don't mind, we've made our choice We've got all the time in the world We said goodbye to it all We said goodbye to it all 'Bye to it all Say goodbye to it all Say goodbye to it all Say goodbye to it all Say goodbye to it all Say goodbye Say goodbye...
