The time has come for me
To start packing
I'm folding the shores
Of my life into valises
I can't stand
This desert heat no more
I'm going away
I'm going away
I've waited to long
To catch your signal
I counted the numbers
The letters, the days
Something tells me
You're
You're not coming
I've got to go away
I'm going away
Chorus:
Now I'm writing you a letter
And I'm making it long
Now I'm breathing
And I'm bleeding
And the pages are torn
Now I'm writing you
To tell you
I may go missing and lost
The sand covers my face
My mama say
Life is for living
If you're unhappy honey
Go out and reinvent
The desert is good
The desert is dark
I've got to go away
Said I'm going away
(Chorus)
The sand covers my face
