The bard walks alone in the valley unknown
He lives and communes with the trees
A specter, he proses what life’s mind composes
The visions that blind men will see
A stranger to men who can’t comprehend
In death, he knows he will be free
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the ballad and bard
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the poet’s regard
The minstrel remains on a dying refrain
He’d tarry where others dare not
When silenced by silver to pilfer the lame
He muses of lost Camelot
With lyre and harp, he conceals in a lay
The secret his heart yearns to play
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the minstrel and song
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the meek and the strong
The sage in a cave sees beyond the saint’s grave
In silence, he harkens to soul
Withdrawing the senses, he sings recompenses
Relinquishing thoughts on the dole
In sweet contemplation and renunciation
He dwells on the unchanging whole
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the mystic and sage
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the wisdom of age
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the ballad and bard
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the poet’s regard
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the minstrel and song
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the meek and the strong
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the mystic and sage
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye to the wisdom of age
Say goodbye, say goodbye
