lyrics

Don't speak to me, no, leave me be
I don't have time to talk anymore.
I've got no friends, no family,
No dates to mark, no knocks on my door.

The world has gone away from me,
I don't know where, I don't know how.
The wind that rushes through the leaves,
Is the only thing that's left of it now.

There's a place I know where no one goes,
The water is deep, the road there is long.
Don't follow me if you see me leave,
Today I'm still here, tomorrow I'm gone.

The sun, the rain, don't fall here now,
They've packed their bags and headed out town.
No cats here are spayed, the dogs are all strays,
And even when you shout, it won't make a sound.

The floors all creak, the pipes all leak,
The crows eat most anything they can find.
Be careful not to look too long,
All that you are is what you leave behind.

There's a place I know where no one goes,
The water is deep, the road there is long.
Don't follow me if you see me leave,
Today I'm still here, tomorrow I'm gone.
