lyrics

An ode to this city
I thought I'd never leave
God I've been busy
But I'll save you the speech
I've left and come back
But I'm leaving once again
Goodbye sweet town of mine

You gave me a home
When a house was all I knew
Now the time has come
So I'll say goodbye to you
I won't be back
I'm leaving now for good
Goodbye sweet town of mine

Hold my tongue
When there’s nothing nice to say
Hold my tongue
I’ll be leaving either way
Hold my tongue
When there’s nothing left to do

Hold my tongue
When there’s nothing nice to say
Hold my tongue
I’ll be leaving either way
Hold my tongue
When there’s nothing left to prove

Hello city
It's nice to see you well
The people are busy
You've got no time for me
I guess I'll find
A town to call my own
Goodbye sweet town of mine
