Departure

Mt. Desolation

Departure

I can sense departure in the air

Now it's only the past that we share

Divided at a parting of the road

Where I could ride on or lighten the load

I've been dreaming of a town

Where the lost and found

and wrong way round are bound

For departure

I've been comfortably numb

But a change is gonna come

Like a storm

Driving down through the streets

From mount Desolation's peak,to make you pure

For departure, for departure

Lover, we have fought and we have laughed

At every obstacle thrown in our path

The things have gotta change before I crack

Before I get so lost I can't get back

I've been dreaming of a town

Where the lost and found

And wrong way round are bound

For departure

I woke up at the mouth

Of a river in the south

Of this land

Where the tide and the stones

Strip the troubles from your bones

And make you glad

Of departure

I'll treasure 'til I'm dead

Everything that we have said and done

For the voice in my head

Is telling me I'd best be moving on

Cause the decent folk don't want me

Everywhere my missteps haunt me

But the fears that always stalked me

Seem to fade away

When I start dreaming of a town

Where the lost and found

And wrong way round are bound

For departure

I woke up at the mouth

Of a river in the south

Of this land

Where the tide and the stones

Strip the troubles from your bones

And make you glad

Of departure

Where the tide and the stones

Strip the troubles from your bones

And make you glad

Of departure

The death of love

It's nothing to be scared of

It's just a light switching off
