Today the sun shines on my window
And the heart
Gets sad contemplating the city
Why are you leaving?
Like every night I woke up
Thinking of you
And on my clock I saw all the hours pass by
Why are you leaving?
All the promises of my love will go with you
You will forget me, you will forget me
Next to the station, I will cry just like a child
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Under the shadow of a streetlight
They will fall asleep
All the things that were left unsaid
They will fall asleep
Next to the clock hands
They will wait
All the hours that were left to live
They will wait
All the promises of my love will go with you
You will forget me, you will forget me
Next to the station, I will cry just like a child
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
All the promises of my love will go with you
You will forget me, you will forget me
Next to the station, I will cry just like a child
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
All the promises of my love will go with you
You will forget me, you will forget me
Next to the station, I will cry just like a child
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
