Packing it all up
Leaving the City of Love
Say it's just for the year
To please your own ears
But you're not believing what you hear.
It's a heart breaking task
So you'll empty that flask
To numb the movement
Of the dire miracle sent
The dreams you had, your hopes bent.
That woman is pushing the bills
Rubbing the salt, making the kill
Destroying your best phase
Whilst filling you with her praise
Now you've had your end of days.
She turns and asks, anything left?
Talking to you, there's no one else
Nothing I can't leave behind in this mess
That's everything done, more or less
I've only left behind a towel and my happiness...
