Manic Street Preachers - A Song for Departure lyrics

And all the masks I carry on my face For you, for another Some calm and then some grace But once within a long and broken night A face like mine, bereft of dreams and white This is a song, this is a song a song for a departure This is a song This is a song, this is a song a song to take you homewards This is a song Maybe this strangeness only ever was To hide ourselves from some kind of happiness But always the moment it just seems to stay Tearing it off like so many calendar days This is a song, this is a song a song for a departure This is a song This is a song, this is a song a song to break your heart to This is a song This is a song, this is a song a song for broken lovers This is a song This is a song, this is a song a song to take you homewards This is a song This is a song, this is a song a song to break your heart to This is a song
