Whenever You Go

Might as well take pinky strings

And throw them up to a cartoon king

Maybe he could offer me a coin

Cause I got nothing here, myself, to keep me going

What I'd do for a magic dime

Overwork it a million times

For a start, I'd get caught up on you

And how the days jump ahead until you're ready

I would change what I can, pay your heart's levy

Whenever you go away

Whenever you go away

I'm like a baby in deep water

Trying to swim

Whenever you go away

A good day's a dreadful place

And bottom's a hundred years old, begging to go

And living to roll out the end

What's the use of gum in a wrapper?

And what it life without the here and after

Or another without a story to tell?

Cause I'm better off on the shelf

With the dust and the things we forget

Like that colorful pottery set

We made, like the days you number for my heart

I would be your lucky star if I had one

Said, I'll be in the hanky in your pocket

To steal one hour from the sun

Whenever you go away

Whenever you go away

I'm like a baby in deep water

Trying to swim

Whenever you go away

A good day's a dreadful place

And bottom's a hundred years old, begging to go

And living to roll out the end

Whenever you go

Whenever you go away

Whenever you go away

Whenever you go away

I'm like a baby in deep water

Trying to swim

Whenever you go away

A good day's a dreadful place

And bottom's a hundred years old, begging to go

And living to roll out the end

A hundred years old, begging to go

And living to roll out the end
