lyrics

As you go away from here,
See that this house of all your things is clear.
For everything you leave will be tossed into the snow,
Goodbye and better luck in love it’s time for you to go.

As you drive away from here,
Throw out thoughts to look back in your rear view mirror.
For all you’ll see is a man betrayed unsure of what he knows,
Drive on and better luck in love it’s time for you to go.

When you make your way back into town,
Say not a word to the people around,
Who speak of letters bathed in scarlet stitched into your clothes.
Drive on and better luck in love it’s time for you to go.

When you find a new place to call home,
Find a man and leave the rest of them alone.
For a day will come when nothing’s left to toss into the snow,
Goodbye and better luck in love it’s time for you to go.
