lyrics

if you sail away today
i’ll pack my bags in the morning
if you saddle up this way
i’ll leave my town in the morning
if we bus for bumblebees
shine the boots of the geese
we’ll make the jingling sound
that means we got the means to travel on
once we ease on to the road
a goodbye been had, a goodbye been told
we’ll find the free and far
the flying birch knows where we are
no more bus or shine
no more work for dimes
no more feeling blue and there’s no more missing you
what use in having home
when heaven roasts at the reach of tongue
the road provides a change of eyes
let loose in what confines
we’ll ride the trucking earth
instead of standing in the surf
we’ll meet so many living things
instead of dwelling in our dreams
if you go i say i’ll go
and we’ll leave all this in the morning
the flies be picking at my mind
and the mold of the left behind
but now no more we’ll close the door
and look ahead until we’re dead
bye, bye we’re pushing ground
you tangerine, tangible town
