Leaving Today

(专辑： Absent Friends - 2004)

So suddenly awake
No light from yonder window breaks, no crowing cock
Just my old clock, please make it stop
I try to wrestle free
But like the dew she clings to me
"No way Jose, you don't get away that easily"

Leaving today, leaving today, leaving today

"Release me let me go
I love you more that you could know
All I can do is promise to come home to you"
I tip-toe from the bed
And put my head around the nursery door to say good-bye
It breaks my heart every single time

I'm leaving today, I'm leaving today, I'm leaving today

I would stay if you asked me, so for God's sake don't ask me to stay
My taxi has arrived. Good-bye sweet simple life, good-bye

The city's waking up
Dreams fizzle out like raindrops racing down the glass
They blur the street-lamps as we pass
