lyrics

Intro: All…
Things, come to an end,
Regardless of quality.
This…
Album is no exception.
The denouement is calling me.
..and I said..

1. Win some, lose some, hinder some, help some.
I never want it said that I wore out my welcome.
Never want it said that I couldn’t take a hint.
There’s more where this came from, but maybe I should save a bit.
Night, day, night, can’t fight the flow.
When it’s time to go, well, it’s time to go.
I know I gotta get while the getting’s good.
Don’t want you to sit there and wish I would.
Never want you to have to ask me to leave.
Rather leave you grieving than feeling relieved.
I’m on the threshold, one foot out the door.
But you’re not too proud to shout out for more.
So this is it, then, the last little verse.
Just a few more lines and we can all disperse.
I’ll tip my hat and ride off into the sunset.
And you can wake up, like, “is he done yet?”

Somewhere between ripe and rotten.
The Misremembered, but not yet forgotten.

I shouldn’t, it’s past my bedtime.
I could ruin everything with my next line.

What good can come if I linger?
I’m more of an interloper than a keeper.

A little of me goes a long way.
I can sit, beg, and fetch, but I cannot stay.

No, no, get my hat and coat.
I’ d better hit the road or I’ll miss the boat.

They say parting is such sweet sorrow
But you’ll forget I was even here by tomorrow.

No, no, no, it’s all for the best.
Once I’m gone you’ll be glad that I left.

Don’t shed a tear there are always others.
I let the fuse, now I gotta take cover.
