Departing

Have you ever just about missed a train? Or maybe even a buss? Been so close to making it on time just to watch it drive right past you?
Well I have.
This is the story of a waisted morning, a failure to read the fine print and the tragedy of living life with a timer on every moment.

Lyrics:
Today all the angels
have abandoned me
Today all the winds
have left my sails

So I’ll wait for the next train
I turn back and go the same way
Home

Today the morning light
Awakened me
This place I’ll leave
The second I let forth the dream

So I’ll wait for the next train
I turn back and go the same way
If I leave in defeat I’ll return today
See me sit by the road to waste away
Back home

Back home
Back home

All the angles and every wind
Cobblestone and summers grit
Wait by the wayside, wait by my side
Such an ugly waste of morning light

Today this city ain’t
a friend of mine
Today I can feel the
Tick of time
It drains and takes
All it can reach
And yet, it holds on to me
So dearly

So I’ll wait for the next train
I turn back and go the same way
If I leave in defeat I’ll return today
See me sit by the road to waste away

Back home
