I'm leaving in the morning
won't be back again
I will cross the wide river to the far western lands
there's devils in the details
a rumbling in the sky
the moon's hanging low and the water is high
I have been every place
walked every road
worn out my shoes but never my soul
'cause I've known you before
and I'll see you again
when we meet up someday in the far western lands
all the things that were mine consider yours
I won't be longing to things anymore
I'm trading this boat in 'cause it's full of holes
so I'll grow back my wings like a child
and just fly
I'm ready to go but I'll not hurry off
'til we sing the last song and drink the last drop
oh there's more where that came from
but where's it all go?
sometimes we're sinking and sometimes we float
I've finished my work here
the mending is done
I'me weary of patching the tears I have worn
I'm trading this boat in 'cause it's full of holes
and I'm tired
so I'll grow back my wings like a child and just fly
When the last night is over
our new lives will dawn
you will go on without me
I'll go on alone
for awhile here I loved you
and here we were home
and for awhile here you'll stay dear
but I'm ready to go
