Leaving Again

Packed the backseat in the morning chill

Left the key upon the windowsill

Every memory rooted to the pine It is time to cross that

county line

I'm not looking in the rearview now

Letting silence break the final vow (ohhh)

Letting go

of everything we built

Watching fences fall into the silt

I am moving away toward an open shore

I don't belong to this porch no more

Two hundred miles on a single tank Passing riverbeds and clay that

sank All the promises that dried up gray

Wash off with every mile today

It doesn't mean I didn't care Just that there's no more room

to share The wind is pushing on the door I'm finding what

my hands are for

Letting go

of everything we built

Watching fences fall into the silt

I am moving away toward an open shore

I don't belong to this porch no more

(no more)

Moving away...

Just letting go
