[Verse 1] Yesterday I’m staring out my window Wishing I was home in Tennessee But I’m the only one here with my shadow And my shadow is the only one with me Maybe I was wrong about the mountains And maybe I was wrong about the breeze Waking up each day inside my canyon With the morning sun as far as I can see
[Chorus 1] Bye bye Randy Grambo Bye bye to you old friend I hope to see you in the morning once again
[Verse 2] Lady of the desert can you hear me? For I’ve been knocking on your cellar door I’ve come to wonder if you will release me For you know I don’t belong here anymore Maybe I was wrong about the valley And maybe I was wrong about the stars These days I keep them hidden in my memory They remind me of the dreamer that I was
[Chorus 2] Bye bye Magdalena Bye bye to you old friend I hope to see you in the morning once again
[Bridge] I could throw a stone and skip it cross the ocean Or I could wander round the desert every night I’ve begun to wonder if you’ll ever notice That I’ve been waiting round for what seems another life
[Outro] Bye bye to the sailor Bye bye to you old friend I hope to see you in the morning once again Once again, once again
