lyrics

Song: Farewell
Album: Savin' My Pennies (2010)
BPM: 90 Key: Bm

(Verse 1)
After twenty-some years just wastin' away
Spendin' our nights, thinkin' what's one more day
The summer's gone, and now the leaves have fallen
I've tried to hide, but the world keeps callin'
So we're makin' our way to the city limit
Runnin' away, pushin' a mile a minute
If we don't look back to where we've started
We'll never think twice about those dearly departed

(Chorus)
If I don't see you, know that I mean to say goodbye
Aoh, if you believe too, then I can meet you in my mind

(Verse 2)
It seems we've lost more than we've found
As we seek transgression from the bottomless ground
If you're driven by the rhythm, then you've got to rebel
Don't have to die to fight the devil himself
I traded my gold for what I need
These strings, this voice, and some room to breathe
Walk up to the edge and find out where your heart is
Take a couple steps and see the world uncharted

(Rap)
We started cool, wanted you to come along and ride
But you would hesitate, yeah you would take your time
Two different worlds apart, no they could not collide
It's like I finally find the stars up high could not align
The walls are crumbling, I'm thinkin' that it's for the best
We gotta knock it down in order to rebuild I guess
They say you wisen up with everything you didn't get
I take a deep breath, reachin' for another step

Only at the precipice, do we evolve
And only when we're scared to death, do we resolve
It figures when it's too late, we get involved
Sit and pray, make a resolution not to dissolve
Wait and stay, won't make it past the fork in the road
Can't change, why, dontcha know you're never too old
Gone away from the ball and chain hell that I hold
The same way, Imma say, farewell to her soul.
