Leaving Today - The Divine Comedy, Neil Hannon

So suddenly awake

No light from yonder window breaks

No crowing cock

Just my old clock, please make it stop

I try to wrestle free

But like the dew she clings to me

«No way Jose, you dont get away that easily»

Leaving today, leaving today, leaving today

«Release me let me go

I love you more than you could know

All I can do is promise to come home to you.»

I tip-toe from the bed

And put my head around the nursery door

To say goodbye

It breaks my heart every single time

I’m leaving today, I’m leaving today

I’m leaving today

I would stay if you asked me

So for God’s sake dont ask me to stay

My taxi has arrived

Goodbye sweet simple life, goodbye

The city’s waking up

Dreams fizzle out like raindrops

Racing down the glass

They blur the street lamps as we pass
