Outbound Only, No Return

I was a minute taker

And for every minute taken

For any absent, kept the word

So none present be mistaken

Goodnight, Mrs, Goodnight, Sir

Executive executor

On the last line home again

Outbound only, no return

By missive or by mission go

I took the call I took the letter

That no one was coming in

Today or any other

Goodnight, Mrs, Goodnight, Sir

Goodnight people, living earned

In transit go, and watch one’s step

Outbound only, no return

stay home sick day lights off work place get well worn in love less light fades in time lapse will full time tell truth say what found you out bound

Take the hands from any face

Leave nothing to forgive it

Time could never credit me

I only took the minutes

Goodnight, Mrs, Goodnight, Sir

Onward people, living earned

By transit go, and keep one’s word

Outbound only, no return

Onward people, certain go

Before the decorated urn

Home to any love that waits

Outbound only, no--- return

stay home sick day lights off work place get well worn in love less light fades in time lapse will full time tell truth say what found you out bound
