centuries have passed
and even though I want it to I know that it won't last
it was different to me before (?)
the good got up and went when you went out the door

so I said goodbye
even though I know I'll die
I said goodbye to mr. mingo

it's not important to me now
at least that's what I tell myself
when I am feeling down
I'm not in love enough to stay
( From: http://www.elyrics.net )
but I'm in love enough to know that I should go away

so I said goodbye
even though I know I'll die
I said goodbye to mr. mingo
my father (?)
said goodbye to mr. m-i-n-g-o

so I said goodbye
even though I know I'll die
I said goodbye to mr. mingo
my father (?)
said goodbye to mr. m-i-n-g-o
