Quitting Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Money is not the problem
You have enough of that
Now you must close your office
Put on your coat and hat
Put on your coat and hat
Now is the hour of quitting
Twilight paints the town
Old industrial skyline
How does the sun go down?
How does the sun go down
You can go south in winter
Be what you are a goose
You can live near the ocean
Your clothes can fit you loose
Even as you are leaning
Into that glass of wine
You and beloved business
Have come to the end of a line
Come to the end of a line
