Farewell to my only friend
You´ve been so good to me
Now the carnival has ended
Let´s set the tigers free

The spring was always early
And the winter never came
But since I got this hunger
It just hasn´t been the same

I´m leaving for the great wide open plains
Leaving while this holy spark remains
I see you´ve written promises to make me stay
But it really doesn´t matter now anyway
I´m leaving

True love feeds on absences like pleasure feeds on pain
So no matter where I´m standing I still love you all the same
And I hope you feel the same way when its your turn to disappear
I´ll be cheering from the sidelines with a sandwich and a beer

I´m leaving for the great wide open plains
Leaving while this holy spark remains
I see you´ve written promises to make me stay
But it really doesn´t matter now anyway
I´m leaving

And all at once I step outside into the wind and rain
I let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same

(And all at once I step outside into the wind and rain
I let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same)

I´m leaving for the great wide open plains
Leaving while this holy spark remains
I see you´ve written promises to make me stay
But it really doesn´t matter now anyway
I´m leaving
