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
