He gives a new better meaning to what I am
I knew that I was never gonna be a man.
He gives a new better meaning to what I am
I knew that I would never love any other man.
He says, and you say, and you goodbye
He says Adios, says Adios, goodbye.
How do you say, Adios, goodbye?
He says Adios, says Adios, goodbye.
It's too much for me to tell.

One by one my tales are gold.
One by one my leaves fall
One by one my tales are told.

So many grievous funeral songs
So many grieve as funeral songs

This sacrifice of flesh and blood For a promised land that may not be won
We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes
This is the sweet salvation for what we've got
We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done
You know that is free as the love of your hair
Where does it end? It's too much for me to take
You know that is free as the love you have
Where does it end? It's too much for me to take
Cheer daddy
To your daddy
It makes the police
It makes me believe
Oh god, she said
Look up she said
Under these days you'll own the spell, oh no, the spell.
One of these days you'll understand, understand
We're gonna love our mother
We're gonna love one another
