Departed Lullaby

(hummm, hum-hum-hummm)

The exit gate was cold and wide

You walked out right into the night

The driver took the long way round

No words, just static on the radio sound

Then mid-verse you just stepped away

And stepped into a different day

A birthday table, candles bright And blackout cake in the neon-free light

Oh, we missed the final turn

Watching every signal burn (yeah)

And we ran out of time at the concert gate!

Yeah we took the long way and we made it late!

Now we're sitting at the table with a blackout plate! (oh-oh-oh)

Just a missed chance fading in the crowd

The music was so loud

We took the long way...

At the birthday table...

(hummm, hum-hum-hummm)
