Watch Me Gone

  • There was a train leaving for a big beat in a big life
    Are you coming?
    I may have asked you once or twice
    But I'd already left the hallway with broken lights
    Some dingy landing we used to tumble from
    Where the stairs were cracked and worn, whatever

    Watch me go, babe, watch me gone

    And the songs were pushing harder all the time
    Wasn't your fault, then again, it wasn't mine
    Broke, frustrated, and obsessed
    You saw me as ridiculous, I guess

    And I didn't know from nothing, not even my own voice
    But I knew there was something and I knew there was no choice
    I was leaving mostly heartache but I was in no mood to rejoice
    There was so much that was wrong, whatever

    Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)
    Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)

    Well, maybe I'll hit the road with Bob or maybe hitch a ride with Van
    It's all gonna happen and I'll be a happening man
    And God must still be laughing at a boy and his plans
    In the streets where they were born

    And the hopscotch traces, well, you can still see 'em here
    The chalk lines faded and unclear
    Time for me to disappear
    Put my old boots back on, whatever

    Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)
    Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)

    Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)
    Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone) Writer/s: Mark Knopfler
