Off He Goes

Off He Goes

Off he goes to better days,

The twilight of her youth,

“You’ll be there soon” he calmly says.

Adventure and wisdom through the haze,

Can these days be eclipsed?

Off he goes to better days.

To work that greater money pays,

But now let’s get lashed up,

“You’ll be there soon” he calmly says.

I fall into his weathered gaze,

“I miss my quaint hometown”

Off he goes to better days.

His manner’s different as are his ways,

A new man stands before me,

“You’ll be there soon” he calmly says.

Now I regret my choices made,

At least I do right now,

Off he goes to better days,

“You’ll be there soon” he calmly says.

- Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit.
