I'll lock the door when I go,
Don't say, "don't forget me"
You know that I won't.
I know you won't let me.

I'll lock the door when I go,
Once I've boxed my belongings,
I'll pack up my heavy,
My sorrow, my longings.

I'll lock the door when I go,
But I'm leaving behind,
Every last promise,
The best parts of my mind.

I'll lock the door when I go,
To forbid other's entry,
Though I know they'll come knocking,
I do hope that it's gently.

I'll lock the door when I go,
But I'll leave you the key,
I'll lock the door when I go,
To keep you from me.
