From the corner of nay eye I see a tear rollin' clown
At the time I couldn't tell whose tear it was
If it was mine I should bc glad
That I still function in this cage
But if it's yours it only makes me more lost
To see a tear rollin" clan
To see a tear rolling clown
This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye babe, goodbye
I hear sweethearts whisper their undying love
Above the noise on the quay their voices rise
They must have something so strong
in the face of such change
That they can promise and promise all night
Oh their undying love, hear their undying love
This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye babe, goodbye
Oh what you wouldn't give to bc down
on the pier once again
Far away from the cries of this war-weary horde
Time up there in the clouds must be hard to endure
When your heart's unsure
It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave
I feel I'm sentenced to death without appeal
I can pretend it's all a dream
Anil what I'm seeing will disappear
But the end I can see is all too real
Knowing you're taking leave
Knowing you're taking leave
This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye babe, goodbye babe
This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye babe, goodbye
