By your leave, I think that I'll be going 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



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



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



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
