Going Away Blues Lyrics

And of course I'll miss you my love

But it's time to spread your wings

And sing the going away blues

Feel the hues of sunlight dripping down your veins

And tell me if it feels the same

As it did the night before

You'll come back brand new

I always expected you to

I didn't wish it any different

I just want you to be happy

When it's all said and done

I know you're not the forever boy

But I love you anyway

I love your smile and how you stuck around

When I felt parts of myself slip away

You'll come back as you were

I knew it to be true

It'll be me who does the changing

Ever-orbiting the sun

I'm sorry it has to be this way

But our time has come

You'll forever be my first love

The one that taught me

That change is forgiving

And I can always find my way back home

Back into your arms

And for the first time

I feel the most like myself

It was always meant to end this way

Lost in the love

And all that I've made

I wish I could tell you what comes after this

But I guess I'll keep you guessing
