It's time we said goodbye
Time now to decide
Oh, don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all
It's time we moved out West
This time will be the best
And when the evenings fall
Dark is the night for all
It's time, yeah, to break free
It's time to pull away
For you and for me
It's time, yeah, to break free
We need to celebrate the mystery
It's time we said goodbye
Time for you and I
Oh, don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all
Time now to decide
Oh, don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all
It's time we moved out West
This time will be the best
And when the evenings fall
Dark is the night for all
It's time, yeah, to break free
It's time to pull away
For you and for me
It's time, yeah, to break free
We need to celebrate the mystery
It's time we said goodbye
Time for you and I
Oh, don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all

Although, like all good lyrics, they do retain some ambiguity. For example, the well worn line "It's time we moved out West, this time will be the best" could be taken at face value as moving to America and making lots of money with the fat cats a la Tina Turners song 'Simply the Best' which ended up being played at countless corporate conferences for greedy yuppies; however, these are the oppressors in this song and I prefer to interpret it as a simple reference to all the penniless Europeans that migrated to America when it was a new land and new start, because there was nothing for them in their own lands. One of their finest songs if you ask me.
