Departure

As I look down this busy road Flying north for the winter Didn't prepare me for the cold Somewhere out there I'll feel better Somewhere out there I'll belong Wish me well The road shall rise to meet me I'm already gone It's time for my departure It's time for me to go I can't stay any longer This place is not my home Then again I know it isn't over I'll already miss you by October Distance makes the heart grow colder You wished you could keep me young I can't help I'm getting older Far flung wayward son It's time for my departure It's time for me to go I can't stay any longer This place is not my home It feels like gravity and time have Held onto me tight and Hidden me within Two years sitting by the fountain Wandering around and Tearing at my skin Then summer came and whispered to me "Let me set your wings free Pack your bags and run Raise a parting glass to toast from Make sure it's a good one for what you've become" It's time for my departure It's time for me to go I can't stay any longer This place is not my home It's time for my departure It's time for me to go
