I'll Lock the Door When I Go

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.
