lyrics

If you see my darling
With her best dress on
Tell her I'm gone
Love ain't here no more
Though it left its spores in me
Now I'm moving on

I've done my best
But I'm tired of these tests
Every damsel I've met
Preferred being in distress
Good luck and so long
Let bygones be bygone
Just play some old song
That surprised me when I was young

Okay
Have it your way
But I don't have to stay
And take this
From the likes of you
Now where was I?
Oh yeah, goodbye
I've got too much to do

My life's all in front of me
Lit up like a christmas tree
The rest is all history
That's how it appears to me.
I've still got all this time
Look at me, I feel fine
Have another glass of wine
Before I go

My moments have frozen
My vision grows narrow
My past now lies fallow
In another man's care
So take all I am
And then suck out the marrow
Set alight to my shadow
If you dare

No, no I won't go.
No, no I won't.
No, no I won't go.
No, no I won't.

What will you do
With all you know of me
When I'm just a memory?
Hold that memory close
Don't let it get away
Tell it to stay
Grasp hold of the smoke
And lock it up
If it moves
Make it stop
Preserve all that I've got
Just don't give me up.
Yeah I get the gist
I'll be mourned but not missed
That's just how it is.
Well enough is enough.
