  • Time for me to go away
    I'll get a new name, I'll get a new face
    Time for me to go away
    No I don't belong in this place

    But I'm not gonna ask you why
    You think the parade has passed you by
    Or if everything good is gone into the western sky

    I hate to see you look that way
    All the beauty has left your face
    That's such an easy thing to give away
    That's impossible to replace

    So I'll take you in my two weekends
    And I'll throw you so high
    Watch you fall forever in the western sky
    And when you land you'll turn into some kind of prize
    Into somebody's sweet prize

    I won't see you no more
    Who am I to rate that high
    The world's a shadow of what went before
    The world gives off none of its own light

    So please be happy baby
    And please don't cry
    Even though the parade has passed us by
    Well you can still see it shining in the western sky
    So why won't you stop crying
    You can still see it shining Writer/s: JOHN MARK EITZEL
