Change the locks on the door
Put out the light in the hall
I do not live here anymore
Put the world in a box
Turn the sign to the street
Aim for where the horizon and blue skies meet
But all I know is
I'm not ready yet
For the light to dim
Got a suitcase, got regrets
But I'm hopeful yet
I've been a gifted thief
Stole everything for the cause
I never had fingers as light as yours
So wake up pretty girl
See the hope in small things
Disappointment can wear you thin
But all I know is
I'm not ready yet
For the light to dim
Got a suitcase, got regrets
But I'm hopeful yet
And I'll raise this gla** of wine
And I'll say your name
So let's be k**ers babe
Make the great escape
From all the bitter words
Of every crowded street and empty heart
It's Christmas day
Brooklyn in the rain
But I am safe inside a better world of hope and memory
Drunk on velvet wine
The Southern Cross for light
Deal your cards and hope that I can play a better hand this time
