REM - Departure lyrics

rate me

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

Just arrived Singapore, San Sebastian, Spain, 26-hour trip

Salt Lake City, come in spring

Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me

Salt Lake City, come in spring

Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me

Here it comes (I'm carried away)

Here it comes (I'm carried away)

Here it comes

Departure, godspeed, bless his heart, good lord

What a fuck-up, what a fighter

A free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider,

Hung on the line like a poison spider

Win a eulogy from William Greider,

Car crash, ptomaine, disposable lighter,

A bus plunge, avalanche, a vinegar cider

Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider

(chorus)

Here it comes (I'm carried away)

Here it comes (I'm carried away)

Here it comes, back, back

Go, go, go, go, yeah

Go, go, go, go, yeah

Go, go, go, yeah

Well, everybody is young forever

There's so much to tell you, so little time

I've come a long way since the whatever,

Shit, I still see a word, think of you

There is so much that I can't do, yeah

You will be young forever

There's so much that I can't do

There is so much that I can't do

(repeat chorus 2x)
