Lyrics Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum

Endless Farewell

Rise and shine, keep your razor sharp

Size up yourself in the mirror

A slice of life to last throughout the year

But sooner or later it all comes back to you

And we will remember the fine things you can do

I'm giving back all the things that you gave to me

I'm saving up the price to pay the decree

Remember the first time you saw the rising sun

You may be done but I've just begun

The leaves are burning and the ashes have blown away

I'm turning over new leaves almost every day

You let him think you'd just as soon stay

You let him think you had nothing to say

Now you want me just to let you go away

To find some mangled security, some strangled form of purity

To restore your faith and all the things you've come to hate

You give and you take and you leave, leave it alone

What I want so badly for this to be a place you can call home

And I haven't felt this way since yesterday, but I don't remember when

What I want so badly to be someone you can call a friend till we meet again

Endless farewell

Hello, hello, hello again

Endless farewell
