You'll Have to Learn Songtext
von Evripidis and His Tragedies

You′ll have to learn,
You'll have to learn,
You′ll have to learn,
You'll have to learn
To say goodbye

You'll have to learn,
You′ll have to learn,
You′ll have to learn,
You'll have to learn
To say goodbye

It may cost you years,
Endless nights and bitter tears but
It′s the only way
If you want to say hello
To something new


When times get dull,
When times get rough
You'll have to learn
There′s nothing left
But sail away
Your boat will rock
The stormy seas,
Your boat will cruise
Beneath the starry summer skies
You may end up stuck at the bar
Drinking, smoking your guts out
Or you may end up on islands
Full of promises, exotic and new
Who knows?

I got in the boat on a foggy night
We waved our scarves as the anchor was risen with a screeching sound
As the he port lights were getting dimmer in the distance
My eyes got watery and I thought I heard someone saying

"Say goodbye,
Say goodbye
Say goodbye,
Say goodbye
You'll have to learn! Learn! Learn, learn, learn!
You′ll have to learn"

And I had to learn
I had to learn
I had to learn
I had to learn
To say goodbye


I had to learn
I had to learn
I had to learn
I had to learn
To say goodbye

And still it costs me tears,
Over one thousand and one beers but
It was the only way
I need to say hello
To something new
Brand spanking new!

You'll have to learn,
You'll have to learn,
You′ll have to learn,
You′ll have to learn!
