It was an early morning yesterday I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle Like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover And I must be moving on Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an anchor Like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies Sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye mary, goodbye jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow feel no pain Sweet devotion It's not for me Just give me motion And set me free And the land and the ocean Far away It's the life I've chosen Every day So goodbye mary, goodbye jane Will we ever meet again Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behaviour That'll never bother me Say the devil is my savior But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Goodbye stranger it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye mary, goodbye jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow feel no pain Sweet devotion It's not for me Just give me motion And set me free And the Land and the Ocean Far Away It's the life I've chosen Every Day So now I'm leaving, got to go, hit the road I'm saying once again Oh yes I'm leaving, got to go, got to go I'm sorry I must tell you So goodbye mary, goodbye jane Will we ever meet again I believe, yes I've got to get away

A introdução icônica do piano elétrico Wurlitzer é considerada um dos riffs instrumentais mais reconhecíveis do catálogo da banda.
Embora a canção tenha sido escrita e cantada por Rick Davies, ela destaca os coros sobrepostos que se tornaram uma marca registrada do som do Supertramp.
O solo de guitarra, executado por Roger Hodgson, é frequentemente apontado por fãs e críticos como uma de suas melhores contribuições para a discografia do grupo.
A faixa chega ao número 15 na Billboard Hot 100 dos Estados Unidos, consolidando-se como mais um hit no top 20 para o Supertramp.
As letras abordam o tema da liberdade pessoal em detrimento de vínculos a longo prazo, narrando a despedida de romances passageiros, como ilustrado pelas linhas "Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane".
O tema reflete o estilo de vida transitório do protagonista, que, apesar de ter aproveitado sua estadia, decide seguir em frente sem se envolver emocionalmente.
