I'm leaving for Phoenix, Arizona As a yellow sun collapses to the ground You blink as dust collects on your eyelashes, And all the words you're searching for don't have a sound It doesn't have to mean goodbye when I'm gone It doesn't have to break our hearts to move on We have lost a thousand loves in a thousand lives before This is just one more A memory fades in and out of focus, The colors not as crisp as they once looked And all the time and space that's now between us Has turned us into characters from forgotten books Dry whatever tears you have to cry, my lonely friend Shimmering and brilliant, life spins by, And some things stay and some things end
