The rain's cryin' tears on the window
the rhythm of wheels on the track
I'm sleepy and low and no place to go
and I know there's no turning back
the coffee tastes bitter as parting
and parting was never so cold
as the look in your eyes that couldn't meet mine
as you shrugged off the years with a smile
goodbye sweet Michael of Angels
goodbye to old Saint Michel
I curse you for love and bless you for life
in my heart, I'm wishing you well
I recall buying grapes in the market
and bringing them back home to you
with your voice in my hair and the touch of your fingers
I was wrecked on the shores of your love
goodbye sweet Michael of Angels
goodbye to old Saint Michel
I curse you for love and bless you for life
in my heart, I'm wishing you well
you said she was just for the moment
just a rung on the ladder of fame
and who knows some day you'll see me again
and words fell as hard as the rain
goodbye sweet Michael of Angels
goodbye to old Saint Michel
I curse you for love and bless you for life
in my heart, I'm wishing you well
goodbye sweet Michael of Angels
goodbye to old Saint Michel
I curse you for love and bless you for life
in my heart, I'm wishing you well
wishing you well
