Lyrics
[Verse 1]
By your leave, I think that I'll be goin' now
I think I've stayed a little long
I looked up all my mother's recipes
I can't think what I did wrong
[Verse 2]
We go to a restaurant, but you don't like wine
You say it's love you want, but there is no time
I realize I can see it in your eyes
You keep staring at the floor
[Verse 3]
I used to look at your school photographs
But I don't have them anymore
I wonder who's in my old college rooms
Or stuck on my old locker door
[Verse 4]
I dream of the ships at sea on a stormy night
I wish that it was me, but I wake in fright
I realize I can see it in your eyes
I've only got myself to blame
[Verse 5]
Winter kisses when your lips were blue
Like chasin' wild geese in the snow
Pressin' faces on the window pane
But that's a long, long time ago
[Verse 6]
We go to a restaurant
You say it's love you want
I realize I can see it in your eyes
You're movin' on to somethin' more
