And I am all alone
(tacet)
I've sent the children far away
(tacet)
To some obscure unknown
(tacet)
It's so sad, so sad
[Chorus]

So won't you run away? (break)

Though the sun is in outside

The rain is in my hair

Now all my life is lived inside

My home is in my chair

It's so sad, so sad (break)

Close another door

Listen to my eyes

Let me go

Send me flowers and put me on a plane
B F#
I may be old but I've been told
E F#
At least I'm still alive

Fly me up and send me home
