Lyrics:
V1: Farewell to my only friend
You've been so good to me
Now the carnival has ended
Let's set the tigers free
V2: The spring was always early
And the winter never came
But since I got this hunger
It just hasn't been the same
C1: I'm leaving for the great wide open plains
Leaving while this holy spark remains
I see you've written promises to make me stay
But it really doesn't matter now anyway
I'm leaving
V3: True love feeds on absences like pleasure feeds on pain
So no matter where I'm standing I still love you all the same
And I hope you feel the same way when its your turn to disappear
I'll be cheering from the sidelines with a sandwich and a beer
C2: I'm leaving for the great wide open plains
Leaving while this holy spark remains
I see you've written promises to make me stay
But it really doesn't matter now anyway
I'm leaving
V4: And all at once I step outside into the wind and rain
I let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same
(And all at once I step outside into the wind and rain
I let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same)
C3: I'm leaving for the great wide open plains
Leaving while this holy spark remains
I see you've written promises to make me stay
But it really doesn't matter now anyway
I'm leaving
