Lyrics

By your leave, I think that I'll be going now I think I've stayed a little long I looked up all my mother's recipes I can't think what I did wrong We go to a restaurant, but you don't like wine You say it's love you want, but there is no time I realize, I can see it in your eyes You keep staring at the floor I used to look at your school photographs But I don't have them anymore I wonder who's in my old college rooms Or stuck on my old locker door I dream of the ships at sea, on a stormy night I wish that it was me, but I wake in fright I realize, I can see it in your eyes I've only got myself to blame Winter kisses when your lips were blue Like chasing wild geese in the snow Pressing faces on the window panes But that's a long, long time ago We go to a restaurant And you say it's love you want I realize, I can see it in your eyes You're moving on to something more
