Tourist

You were just a tourist

In my life

You watched the sunset with me

And left by sunrise

You were just a tourist and so was I

You helped me see my own city in a new light

Why'd you have to take me on that Ferris wheel

If all you had to do was leave?

Why'd you have to take me on that magic train

Only to leave me in the pouring rain?

You were just a tourist in my life

A good excuse to stock up on wine

You left some of your baggage

I'm glad you could fly light

But it gets heavy for me

I wish you'd checked in sometimes

Why'd you have to take me on that Ferris wheel

If all you had to do was leave me?

Why'd you have to take me on that magic train

Only to leave me in the pouring rain?

Now you're just a tourist

In my mind

A passerby

I wish I could buy you a one way ticket

Each time you visit
