Leaving Today

Mama's leavin' today

It didn't take as long as I thought it would

And there's mounds of clay

In the backyard where our playground once stood

He left months ago

With his college bags, his overcoat, and his clothes

And I'm stuck down here

Still talking to all the people that he knows

To all the people that he knows

And in this background

The colors change

From green to blue

From blue to purple

Purple to red

And in my head

And in my head

Blue

Purple
