Don´t cry when I say goodbye love
My hearts want to remain what I´ve become
But I feel your little hands a-tremblin´
Cuz you know the love we shared is nearly done
And I´m goin´ back to the place where...

Folks like me are from
My people won´t forget me
They´ll kill me if I try to fight
There´s just no word for this where I come from
I was a trusted servant a noble scientist
But now a fugitive lover´s what I´ve become
And I´m goin´ back to the place where
Folks like me are from
I told you from the start that I was not what I appeared
But one look in your eyes and I loved you
My plans were corrupted by your sweet finger tips
And I was never meant to fall in love
My work here was simple till I met you
I should´ve gone back a long time ago
This body´s gettin´ old and you know
I´ll die in the cold winter sun
I´m goin´ back to the place

My old life and my old face
I´m goin´ back to the place where
Folks like me are from
Your lord knows I don´t want to leave here
I´d like to stay in this little house and provide for you
And if I knew I´d only be risking my own life
I´d stay until they came and struck me dead
But I couldn´t stand to see them hurt a hair on your sweet head
So goodbye to laughter and kisses
Goodbye to your belly and your tongue
Back home I´ll soon forget just what bliss is
And it don´t seem fair...
But I´m goin´ back to the place
Back to my own race
You won´t have to live life on the run
I´m goin´ back to the place where

Folks like me are from
