Farewell

I saw you in the morning
Steal away the rain
Leave the hour standing like the palm of my hand
Facing outward in a sign of farewell

This is the finale to all my years of wobliness
Sinking into all these images of what it could be
With this piano biting teeth
Like the edge of the keys

Just when you think it's over
It's really just the start
This life perpetual, treating me like a monarch right
Before it can fly

Just when you think you've seen the last of me
I'll be the girl around the corner
The sound of it is like the space between breaths
It'll be before you know it

So completely alive
A headlight to a car at night
Water to a fiery dread
It will die a death

I saw you in the morning
Steal across the land
Rushing the wind through the pretty young ladies' hair
Kind of like autumn chases the train out of the station
Right out into the open field
I'll tell you I don't think I've ever seen the sun so bright
Don't think I've ever known anyone quite like you

This is the finale
Winter to the spring months
If I ever come around again you can
guarantee I will wear my boots
