you come to see me
to say you're leaving
but i don't care for long goodbyes
i've always known you
to come and go, you
pass like a ghost through all our lives.
so here's to you
and all the walls you're walking through
i bet its all that you can do to get away
and here's to me
when it's all done i still believe
that i was one of too few reasons to remain
(to stay)
i hear you're leaving
every party
before the dinner course is served
(you leave, you leave, you leave)
you give your reasons
and beg your pardons
and they all pine for your return
(for your return)
i'm sure you're restless
and i know your methods
i bet you're taking off tonight
i don't expect to
be taken with you
you only ever travel light
so here's to you
and all the walls you're walking through
i bet its all that you can do to get away
and here's to me
when it's all done i still believe
that i was one of too few reasons to remain
so here's here's here's to you
so here's here's here's to you
so here's to you
and all the walls you're walking through
i bet its all that you can do to get away
and here's to me
when it's all done i still believe
that i was one of too few reasons to remain
