Tim Barry - With Ease I Leave lyrics
[Tim Barry - With Ease I Leave lyrics]
This city's not the same without you but
I proud here on my own
Below this winter sky I ain't counting time
But it sure is passing slow
Been sitting up at the overlook the
View's best now it's cold
Coal loads go east and empties west
And the river's been mighty low
Yeah the mayor's out spinning
His on top again
And the river front's gone to those
With most cash in hand
Oh, I know I think too much
And spend too much time alone
But that don't mean I don't
Miss you when you're gone
Aside from promises and a few friends I made
I don't think I'll stay here long
With ease I leave before my roots have grown
I wish I could slow you down and
Shake you sometimes instead I'll listen more
To the same old thoughts
I've heard a thousand
Times and hope to hear one thousand more
Like how the city of the future plan
Blindly preys on the working poor
All collared blue with eyes bloodshot red
On payment plans to keep warm
Yeah I've learned to stay as far and
As close as I can possibly understand
But sometimes it gets so heavy lord I can't
Oh, I know I think too much
And spend too much time alone
But that don't mean I don't
Miss you when you're gone
Aside from promises and a few friends I made
I don't think I'll stay here long
With ease I leave before my roots have grown
But, I don't know
I need you more that you need
Me in too many ways
And I can't stand dependence so I can't stay
Lord I know I think too much
And spend too much time alone
But that don't mean I don't
Miss you when you're gone
Aside from promises and a few friends I made
I don't think I'll stay here long
With ease I leave before my roots have grown
I'll be gone before you are even home
I proud here on my own
Below this winter sky I ain't counting time
But it sure is passing slow
Been sitting up at the overlook the
View's best now it's cold
Coal loads go east and empties west
And the river's been mighty low
Yeah the mayor's out spinning
His on top again
And the river front's gone to those
With most cash in hand
Oh, I know I think too much
And spend too much time alone
But that don't mean I don't
Miss you when you're gone
Aside from promises and a few friends I made
I don't think I'll stay here long
With ease I leave before my roots have grown
I wish I could slow you down and
Shake you sometimes instead I'll listen more
To the same old thoughts
I've heard a thousand
Times and hope to hear one thousand more
Like how the city of the future plan
Blindly preys on the working poor
All collared blue with eyes bloodshot red
On payment plans to keep warm
Yeah I've learned to stay as far and
As close as I can possibly understand
But sometimes it gets so heavy lord I can't
Oh, I know I think too much
And spend too much time alone
But that don't mean I don't
Miss you when you're gone
Aside from promises and a few friends I made
I don't think I'll stay here long
With ease I leave before my roots have grown
But, I don't know
I need you more that you need
Me in too many ways
And I can't stand dependence so I can't stay
Lord I know I think too much
And spend too much time alone
But that don't mean I don't
Miss you when you're gone
Aside from promises and a few friends I made
I don't think I'll stay here long
With ease I leave before my roots have grown
I'll be gone before you are even home
