See, I know it can be hard to bear
When you're carrying your life around
The temptation of a sweet escape
When your home is such a soft surround
It's goodbye, Mr. Turtle
It's hard to put it into words
But things seem different from before
Like the foxes on the streets at night
Who aren't running from me any more
[Chorus]
Nobody told me that you'd gone away
If you're not busy, maybe we'll meet some other day
I leave the radio turned on at night
To fill the space you left behind
White noise bouncing off the walls
And clearing out my ears and mind
Goodbye, Mr. Turtle
And maybe you've been working hard
And maybe you've been making friends
I don't know whether I should ask
But can you show me how to make amends?
[Chorus]
Nobody told me that you'd gone away
If you're not busy, maybe we'll meet some other day
