A Song for Departure — Manic Street Preachers

And all the masks I carry on my face For you, for another Some calm and then some grace But once within a long and broken night A face like mine, bereft of dreams and white

This is a song, this is a song a song for a departure This is a song This is a song, this is a song a song to take you homewards This is a song

Maybe this strangeness only ever was To hide ourselves from some kind of happiness But always the moment it just seems to stay Tearing it off like so many calendar days

This is a song, this is a song a song for a departure This is a song This is a song, this is a song a song to break your heart to This is a song

This is a song, this is a song a song for broken lovers This is a song This is a song, this is a song a song to take you homewards This is a song This is a song, this is a song a song to break your heart to This is a song
