Empty dishes still sitting where I'm gonna leave it This lamp hasn't been lit in quite a long while The wick doesn't reach what's left of the wax And the rain is coming and I'm overcome
These bad newspapers, they pile up on me Dogs gaze out the window, I know how they feel Adventure, adventure? Or sit by the door? Open open, sesame, I'm overcome
Figurines, dripping faucets, laundry and dust I hate to leave this a mess but I must Small little suitcase, small little belt Small walking shoes and a whole life to prove
Keepsakes can be anchors and anvils and such Like pianos and pets and the people we love Can't change the world from this chair on my space Spiders tag walls with their names in this place
Figurines, dripping faucets, laundry and dust I hate to leave this a mess but I must Small little suitcase, smaller little belt Small walking shoes and a whole life to prove
Oh it's never a clean break when you're trying to leave But songbirds need homes in live oak trees.
