ENGLAND SKIES

DEPARTURE LOUNGE BLUES
AND ALL I DID WAS CRY AT YOU
I TOOK OFF MY SHOES
IF I WAS IN ARRIVALS I'D HAVE LESS TO LOSE
NO CASH TO BUY FLOWERS FOR YOU
SO SORRY FOR MYSELF I DIDN’T SEE YOU SLIP AWAY
AS I CHECKED-IN MY BAGS
THE LAST OF YOU THAT I SAW WAS YOUR BACK
AS YOU WALKED THROUGH THE GLASS SLIDING DOORS
TO THOSE ENGLAND SKIES I HATE TO SEE YOU GO
AND YOUR GYPSY LIFE THAT I WAS DENIED
WELL I SUPPOSE IN MANY WAYS
SUPPOSE MY GREATEST SOURCE OF SHAME
WAS THAT NIGHT IN THE SNOW
WHEN I WAS SURE MY TIME WAS THROUGH
OR AT LEAST SURELY LOSE MY TOES
IN BARE FEET AND COTTON CLOTHES
IN MY MOMENT OF MADNESS
WEAKNESS AND DESPERATION
TO SAVE MYSELF I RAN FOR SHELTER
BUT I RAN RIGHT-ON-BY YOU
AND I LEFT YOU THERE
YOU WERE OKAY, BUT NOW I SEE
THAT I LEFT YOU THERE
JUST LIKE YOU DID RIGHT BACK
WHEN THEY DEPORTED ME
I HATE TO SEE YOU GO
BUT I LOVE TO WATCH YOU LEAVE
IF WE WERE JUST SHIT TOGETHER
THEN HOW COME YOUR LACK OF LAST WORDS
LEAVES ME BLEEDING AND NEEDING CLOSURE?
YOU WERE OKAY IN THE END
AND THEY TELL THAT IM GOING TO BE
SO ITS GOODBYE TO THOSE ENGLAND SKIES
