See that sundown in her hair
See that sundown in her hair
Fragrant summer in the air
In the morning she's not there

See that sundown in her eye
See that sundown in her eye
Turn around and start to sigh
In the shade of the Tanglewood tree, she said

Goodbye, my love, goodbye (goodbye)
I've tried, my love, so don't cry (don't cry)
Goodbye, my love, goodbye (goodbye)
Please don't ask me why

And you could say that the whole apogee
Was hangin' there on the Tanglewood tree
No other place that a martyr should be
The hard bark on a Tanglewood tree
Her windy hair was something to see
Hangin' down from the Tanglewood tree
And you could say that the whole apogee
Was hangin' there on the Tanglewood tree

See that sundown in your mind
See that sundown in your own mind
The subtle nuance of a dream left behind
In the shade of a Tanglewood tree that she climbed

Now you kneel and see her face
Now you feel so out of place
Now you reel at the thought
Wanting to steal back all that she fought for

Goodbye, my love, goodbye (goodbye)
I've tried, my love, so don't cry (don't cry)
Goodbye, my love, goodbye (goodbye)
Please don't ask me why

And you could say that the whole apogee
Was hangin' there on the Tanglewood tree
No other place that a martyr should be
The hard bark on a Tanglewood tree
Her windy hair was something to see
Hangin' down from the Tanglewood tree
And you could say that the whole apogee
Was hangin' there on the Tanglewood tree

And you could say that the whole apogee
Was hangin' there on the Tanglewood tree
No other place that a martyr should be
The hard bark on a Tanglewood tree
Her windy hair was something to see
Hangin' down from the Tanglewood tree
And you could say that the whole apogee
Was hangin' there on the Tanglewood tree
