lyrics
I was so tired of being alone in the city
I was so tired of walking under city lights
But it'd stop me feeling down if I could leave this old town
One day I'll be leaving tonight
She took the M14 back to her old apartment
She fed the cat and cooked a meal and went to bed
And it'd stop me feeling down if I could leave this old town
One day I'll be leaving instead
And you gave me a river so I'm building a ship in my yard
And I'm sorry I'm leaving, this town hurt my feelings
I'm done
And before I knew it I was in a carriage
With a pistol and a badge and all this gold
And as their horses matched our stride I thought this isn't the time
I'd rather stay good looking than old
And they pulled on masks and galloped through their graces
And they spun their barrels, clicked them into place
And as they boarded that old train I thought ship not this again
And all I wanna do's leave this place
And you gave me a river so I'm building a ship in my yard
And I'm sorry I'm leaving, this town hurt my feelings
I'm done
And finally we stood besuited in a courtroom
You sipped your water and you stared me in the eye
You slid me drinks, passed the bar, but I'm not very far
From doing what it'd say to make you sigh
And you gave me a river so I'm building a ship in my yard
And I'm sorry I'm leaving, this town hurt my feelings
I'm done
And you gave me a river so I'm building a ship in my yard
And I'm sorry I'm leaving, this town hurt my feelings
I'm done
