Artist: Dar Williams Album: The Beauty Of The Rain (2003) Title: Farewell To The Old Me
Lyrics Farewell To The Old MeHow can I ask love to hold the mystery. When just look at me, It's all push and pull collateral.
I don't want to be the one who gets the next surprise, I'll plan it out this time,
Though I used to think that things were meant to be,
So farewell to the old me, Farewell to the old me, My life is working better now, It's always changing anyhow.
I danced a lot of nights until the grass was wet, It wasn't over yet. 'Round 'bout 3 a.m. you made a friend,
And I followed a lot of idle crazy thoughts because It's where the meaning was,
And I tried to find it every other way,
So farewell to the old me, Farewell to the old me, My life is working better now, It's always changing anyhow.
But I can turn on the charm and show them nothing more Than what I've done before,
Nothing much new but it'll do,
'Cause I don't wanna be the one who makes you laugh out loud, I want to make you proud,
And you always said you knew what I could be .
So farewell to the old me, Farewell to the old me, My life is working better now, It's always changing anyhow.
Time, and the old me. Farewell to the old me, Farewell. |
