The morning I went away
the sky rained tears
Said you'd take me to the airport but you had too many beers
Taxi in the driveway, lemon yellow
Ducked the warm cage of your arms, goodbye
remembering hello
at a dive bar where it was always twilight and I wore black

sometimes opens, exposing me, but
no one looks so no one sees
The morning I went away
the sky rained tears
Now I do too

With each train that passes,
My hope slowly fades,
My family is gone now,
No time for charades.
