This place is cold
And sunless as
The arctic winter's night
I don't get many letters
From the west
Nothing says Goodbye
Like a tear
Nothing says Goodbye
Like a tear
Ah, ah
My love was like
A madman's dream
Of Cairo in the snow
I skated on
The thin ice of your lakes
Nothing says Hello
Like a smile
Nothing says Hello
Like a smile
Ah, ah
And now my [A]only life is here
Amidst the broken swans
And all [Em]my [A]tɾacks
Were covered long [Am]ago
Nothing says Goodbye
Like a tear
Nothing says Goodbye
Like a tear
Ah, ah
