Goodbye New World

from Live Tracks and Demos by the Restaurant

lyrics

By the water, people bustle around me
Under clear skies, and the calmest of blue seas
But the fog in my mind, blocks my vision behind
How I came here

And I'm leaving my baggage on the shore
I won't shoulder its burden anymore
There's a place I must find, where the watching are blind
To my time here

What I built with my own hands
I knocked down with my own hands
In a moment it's lost, and the threshold is crossed
And I knew then they'd find me
And I knew then they'd take me
Take me down
So goodbye my new world

On the ocean, no cloud stalks the blue
I don't look back, the horizon holds my eye
And the fog in my mind, blocks my vision behind
How I came here

As we're landing, my baggage waits for me
Without warning it has traversed the wide sea
There's no place I can find, where my own eyes are blind
To my time there

What I built with my own hands
I knocked down with my own hands
In a moment it's lost, and the threshold is crossed
And I knew then they'd find me
And I knew then they'd take me
Take me down
So goodbye my new world
