I grew tired of the world that I was living in I looked around and found another world to take me in It was bright and new with skies of blue not like my skies of gray And so I told my world to go away This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go My memory burns with unkind words I said This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so I told my world to go away and she did What makes a man think that he can turn his world away To wander through a world that's new and then return someday To the one he knew was good and true the one he loved at home I ask my world to take me back but she won't This world's not big enough
