I'm leaving today But I'm not leaving for good Space is the only thing I have to give To show my love for you
For you I would paint the trees purple I would teach the birds to sing your name I would make the rivers flow backwards And make mountains curl and wave I would set fire under ocean waters And bring the fiercest animals to a calm still Make lies of the things you once thought we true Just to show you a new world
But my artistic devices have become depleted And I'm left naked and ashamed So I'll leave for this quest For me to reclaim my own name
