Call It a Day

How long has it been since I put on paper wings

And flew on a whim to this fraught land?

Longer than I thought any whim could be caught

I never really had much of a plan

There's not enough to keep me here

My heart is with another sea

Oh it's time for me to move on

It's nothing that you've done wrong believe me

They say it's evolutionary we don't forget the harder days

That the good times are all very well but we don't survive that way

Argue all you want but it's the good I will take, I will take

Goodbye to pebbled shores I'll write of you no more

I'll fill my notebooks with white sand

Goodbye to all of those who loved me through the lows

I hold your light now in my hands

It's not enough this house we painted

In colours fit for a home

Oh dear friends who've been my family

Without you I'd have felt so alone

It's evolutionary we don't forget the harder days

That the good times are all very well but we don't survive that way

Argue all you want but it's the good I will take, I will take

I give up on this cold the story I have told

For half my life lived far away

Give up on these hills grey skies and bitter pills

The time has come to call it a day
