[00:18.08]Farewell to my only friend
[00:21.92]You've been so good to me
[00:25.16]Now the carnival has ended
[00:29.73]Let's set the tigers free
[00:33.93]The spring was always early
[00:37.77]And the winter never came
[00:42.01]But since I got this hunger
[00:46.10]It just hasn't been the same
[00:50.62]I'm leaving for the great wide open plains
[00:54.61]Leaving while this holy spark remains
[00:58.55]I see you've written promises to make me stay
[01:02.39]But it really doesn't matter now anyway
[01:06.40]I'm leaving
[01:09.04]
[01:15.00]True love feeds on absences like pleasure feeds on pain
[01:22.44]So no matter where I'm standing, I still love you all the same
[01:30.91]And I hope you feel the same way when it's your turn to disappear
[01:38.62]I'll be cheering from the sidelines with a sandwich and a beer
[01:46.73]I'm leaving for the great wide open plains
[01:51.47]Leaving while this holy spark remains
[01:55.58]I see you've written promises to make me stay
[01:59.33]But it really doesn't matter now anyway
[02:03.47]I'm leaving
[02:06.42]
[02:11.58]And all at once I step outside into the wind and rain
[02:27.46]I let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same
[02:44.57]I'm leaving for the great wide open plains
[02:48.58]Leaving while this holy spark remains
[02:52.48]I see you've written promises to make me stay
[02:56.22]But it really doesn't matter now anyway
[03:00.32]I'm leaving
[03:06.15]
