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 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 glass of wine
And I’ll say your name


So let’s be killers 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, southern cross for light
Deal your cards and hope that I can play a better hand this time
