Grasshopper

Someone said they'd seen you buy a suitcase

I think that I know why

You've been packing all your life into its wrappings

And saying your goodbyes

After waiting half the morning I hear footsteps

I thought you'd never come

Now you tell me that you're leaving in the morning

Tonight will be the last we will have

Night has a way of getting colder

Morning has come and I can't hold her

Any more

She will go today

Now that night has taken time into its keeping

And thrown it in my face

We just lie here in the darkness counting seconds

And pack them in your case

I have given everything I had to give you

I'd give it all again

But I think the time has come for you to leave me

Tonight has been the last we will have

Night has a way of getting colder

Morning has come and I can't hold her anymore

She will go today
