I Have To Go

(álbum: Songs The Night Sings - 2019)

Let's go back in time
To when you were lying by my side
There in that dingy hotel room
Smelling of smoke and cheap perfume

Where you would go out for a cigar
While I was there tuning my guitar
And you'd come see me as I play
Later we'd drink the night away

For all the places I have been
And all the people I have seen
Only with you it felt like home
Like I was not here all alone
But still the lights were shining bright
The bus was right on time
And I had to go

That was long ago
Sometimes when the things are moving slow
I wonder if you still think of me
Of where I am and how I've been

Am I in England or Japan
Am I being good or being bad
I could be boarding on a plane
I could be wasting life away

For all the places I have been
And all the people I have seen
Only with you it felt like home
Like I was not here all alone
But still the lights are shining bright
The bus is right on time
And I have to go
