Denny's Departure

Oh and I'm
I'm sailing away
Up through the clouds
And that's where I'll stay
I'll be okay
I just needed a break

Oh and I'm
I'm leaving today
These sunsets of grey
Keep dragging me down
I can't stick around
I'm heaven bound

Well, quite a few long years ago
You moved down south to avoid the snow
Leaving the first time but you were still around

We came to see you every year
A mount gay in your hand while dad drank beer
Summers gone and the weeks went past
Wishing the good times would always last

Well the music played from the radio
Watercolors in the car while we drove slow
And it seemed that the only place to go would be
Miles and miles from here

What happened to Chet
What happened to Frank
Did the music die
When they were placed in their graves
Sometimes I hear the old cortet still play
And I'd listen to those tunes any day

Driving the Porsche to the courts for a game
Undocking your boat at the port- sails away
But I wish that you were here to stay
And I still feel like I can here you say

I, Imma be alright
I am departing tonight
Nothing on my mind
I, I don't need the world to stop and stare
If you need me then I'll be there
Don't feel pain in your heart
Just let me depart so

You know that we still talk about you all the time
And you know that I never wanted to say goodbye
But you brought us together, that late November
Stays on my mind

I feel you whenever the hummingbirds fly by
I remember myself watching the tears in my father's eyes
Come streaming down as he said "Let's celebrate his life"

I, Imma be alright
I'm departing tonight
Nothing on my mind
I, I don't need the world to stop and stare
If you need me I'll be there
Don't feel pain in your heart
Just let me depart so

Oh and I'm
I'm sailing away
Up through the clouds
And that's where I'll stay
I'll be okay
I just needed a break

Oh and I'm
I'm leaving today
These sunsets of grey
Keep dragging me down
I can't stick around
I'm heaven bound
