Everything Must Go Everything in this heart must go I'm auctioning off pieces of me let the tears fall let the river flow 'cause I'm bidding adieu to this city She's helping me pack tonight still begging me to see the light the blue light in her eyes like that shining blue sunrise I'm putting my faith into come 6 a.m. putting my foot out to find out who I am or maybe who I've been I don't know I make it a point to never argue with my heart but I do know this is the beginning of something true this is the start so Everything of this soul must go I've got a blue light special of me let the lips smile let the pain go 'cause I'm saying sayonara to this city She's wanting it back tonight the times we held eachother tight when the nights were cold like the torch of a blown out soul but we don't have the time anymore and I've gotta find out what time has in store for me when I walk out that door but maybe one last hug will set her alright inside her heart and maybe baby sometime up the road at the end of night someway for us to restart but right now I know Everything must be going, going, gone I've got to reconstruct the inner me let the guitar play my favorite song 'cause I'm kissing goodbye to this city oh sad and pretty.. I'm being torn in two parts taken in every direction at once old love tears at my heart I've been feeling this way for months so sorry dear I'm outta here You know we were going wrong and anyway you hid your feelings this love became a sad sad song a collection of notes we play but never sing so I'm sorry girl now I belong to the world Still, maybe baby we'll find someday you'll once again be mine be it by skywriting or by letter let it be known to me sometime that it could be better but till then I gotta find a rhyme and reason for all I've ever been and will ever be and just who I am well maybe I'm just me Everything must go let the tears fall let the river flow farewell to the city but I do not fear 'cause I'm outta here Close my eyes, 'cause I'm bidding adieu, saying sayonara, goodbye "The moon ain't romantic, it's intimidating as hell". -- Tom Waits, 'Bad Liver and a Broken Heart' |
