lyrics

Leaving, Leaving on a Sunday.
The way was never very clear.

From the passing fields, I see the mist that swirls into the
Dust I leave behind under the wheels, the spinning wheels
While miles above my head, the darkness hides a determined
Sea of traveling birds, going back, back through April skies.

Nothing, Nothing really makes sense.
The way was never very clear.

Leaving, Is never not a problem.
The time,
The changing of the year.

Racing into nothing, this illusion to be free,
They rest upon the sand flats at the edge of the Yellow Sea.
Black and buildings, wings and streetlights,
Dive down swallows at the edge of night.

Leaving, Leaving on a Sunday.
The way was never very clear.

No reason, Why it should have been.
No reason, no reason at all.

From the passing fields, I see the mist that swirls into the
Dust I leave behind under the wheels, the spinning wheels
While miles above my head, the darkness hides a determined
Sea of traveling birds, back in April skies.
