The way the waves roll slow now
I'd say it's time to go now
And now the wind blows softly into my ear
Breathing my goodbye
Packing up my whole life
Into a carry-on
They can carry on without me
Anyway
Pack my love and worry
I'm not in a hurry
But I leave today
The way the signatures fall down
My faded dignity calls out
You said your mothers an actress
Well I could give her some practice
The velvet voice calling softer
The foreign gods of our fathers
It's parabolic, and I am myopic
Seeing what I see
Packing up my whole life
Into a carry-on
They can carry on without me
Anyway
Red wine and little pieces
Empty my valises
This airplane's giving me
A crash course in
Remembering what's missing
Silent dreams of kissing
14 hours of withdrawal showers today
Packing up my whole life
Into a carry-on
They can carry on without me
Anyway
