Goodbye

What have I done that's made you so ungrateful?
Sitting in the paddock, or eating all the grass?
I hate to see my friends go, I wonder where they are, and if you will return them.

I see my friend behind the cold metal bars,
Restless and eager to escape.
But he knows there's no use,
So he let's go of hope and says Goodbye,
With a sad look of despair on his face.
