Departures Lyrics

The speeds of departure

The times of arrival

Your speed of departure

Was faster than I'd hoped

When you told me there was two months left to go

I told you that I think you're lying

But here I am a year's moved on

And hell it's been a year of trying

The speeds of departure

The times of arrival

Your speed of departure

Was faster than I'd hoped

I laid my eyes on where you rested

The flowers made it easier to find

We spent the afternoon together

Just not the time I had in mind

Overgrown, left alone

And I can't shake this sinking feeling

You should know, you're not alone

Until I'm gone

I'll still be singing

The speeds of departure

The times of arrival

Your speed of departure

Was faster than I had hoped

The speeds of departure

(It's part of life)

The times of arrival

(Live while others die)

Your speed of departure

(It's part of life)

Was faster than I'd hoped

(Always wondered why)

The speeds of departure

(It's part of life)

The times of arrival

(Live while others die)

Your speed of departure

(It's part of life)

Was faster than I had hoped
