Fare Thee Well

Goodness gracious, mercy me
This isn't how it's supposed to be
The sun goes up and the sun comes down
Makes no difference when you're not around

Should we run away, tell me, should we try?
It isn't easy when you say goodbye
Say the word, name the place and time
Test me, find out if I have a spine

Take time to tell
Fare thee well

Move on over, rest your head on me
There's a sweetness beyond those baser needs
The words stick to the hope in me
Blot my sun so effortlessly

I know you love me, I feel it here
Deep inside I never knew was there
Maybe me you love me now like I'll love you when
This letter is long forgotten

It's natural as the trees
Strange as the birds and bees
And still you won't let it be

I had to tell you, I had to try
I had to give you the reasons why
Am I in your heart? Am I in your mind?
The pretty girl with the constellation in her eye

I'll make my way, find a different road
Listen to what my heart is told
Settle down where the streets don't know you
And longing lanes don't want to

It's more than I can take
The choices that you make
Leave me to forever winter want

And everything you ever said
All my failings, all my mistakes
Every word is true
