Issa(pronounced eeee-sah) (formerly known as Jane Siberry, born October 12, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario) is most famous for her early 1980s new wave hits such as "Mimi on the Beach", "I Muse Aloud" and "One More Colour". Internationally, she is best known for her 1993 album When I Was a Boy.Following the commercial failure of her 1995 album Maria, Siberry founded her own independent label, Sheeba Records. She has released all of her subsequent material on that label. Her public profile has been lower since she became an independent artist; however, she retains a devoted cult following. Early in 2006, she closed her Sheeba office, then sold and gave away nearly all of her possessions -- including her home and instruments.

Goodbye Lyrics

Jane Siberry

tiny dot
strand of sand
waves that sigh beneath the hand
i stand the singing seashore
the earth and you are round
i'm always apologizing
will i? do you?

chime, the feet
dry, the sand
clouds collect at sea
start to run
this pink shell
this gray span
and a thousand pardons trail behind

lonely beach
ceaseless wind
still don't understand
run as fast
a missed beat
a quickening
i went to say i love you
but instead i said goodbye
i want a table
no just for one
but i know you do
i can see some from here
ok then say for two
no there's only me
don't you want my business
i will never come back here

oh my love
faithless dove
all the love in the world...
