restless farewell

Lyrics

oh all the money that in my whole life i spent, be it mine right or wrongfully, i'd let it slip gladly past the hands of my friends, to tie up the time most forcefully, but the bottles are done, we've killed each one, and the table is full and overflowed, and the corner sign says it's closing time, so i'll bid farewell and be down the road, oh every boy that ever i've touched, i did not do it harmfully, and every boy that ever i've hurt, i did not do it knowingly, but to remain as friends, you need the time, to make amends and stay behind, and since my feet are now fast, and point away from the past, i'll bid farewell and be down the line, oh every foe that ever i faced, the cause was there before we came, and every cause that ever i fought, i fought it full without regret or shame, but the dark does die as the curtain is drawn, and somebody's eyes must meet the dawn, and if i see the day i'd only have to stay, so i'll bid farewell in the night and be gone, oh a false clock tries to tick out my time, to disgrace, distract and bother me, and the dirt of gossip blows into my face, and the dust of rumors covers me, but if the arrow is straight and the point is slick, it can pierce through the dust no matter how thick, so i'll make my stand and remain as i am, and bid farewell and not give a damn
