lyrics

the leaving song

you're hading off to an east coast town
gonna find your way
had it with the city smack and all the smog you say
gonna live a simple life, a simple life you need
leave behind the friends you got
perhaps the ones you've most grown close to

and your family
has priority
good for you
but not
for me

its a comely night in the neighborhood
all the dogs are fed
all the moms and all the toys
are all tucked into bed
the grass is green and sewers clean
and the cars in the drive way recline
streetlights hush
but the moonlights mush
and all the birds are stuck to the line

and i see
your family
has priority
good for you
but not
for me

and i don't want
to be lonely

and i don't want
to be lonely

and i don't want
to be.
