Emitt Rhodes - Farewell To Paradise Lyrics

Emitt Rhodes Lyrics

"Farewell To Paradise"

Rest your heart and free your soul, travel-worn at journey's end
As you slowly sail away billowed clouds softly descend

Midnight, moonlight, starbright, wish me a warm sunrise
Farewell to Paradise

Passing dreams too quickly fade all are lost when we awake
Breathless wind blow me away, bring me back before daybreak

Midnight, moonlight, starbright, wish me a warm sunrise
Farewell to Paradise

With every newborn sun I'm a child with eyes unkept
With every hour passed I'm alone with time well-spent

Say so long to Shangri-La, sad farewell to paradise
Sailing ships across the sea shed a sea from sorrowed eyes

Midnight, moonlight, starbright, wish me a warm sunrise
Farewell to Paradise
