The Starlings: Music & Lyrics

The trees all are waving goodbye
They’re the only ones here
The leaves sound like waves of the ocean
I’m traveling south for the winter
My debts all are paid
My bags all are packed for the train
I’m traveling south forever
I’ll start over there
No one will know where I came from

Oooo, it’s a desperate thing
Giving my heart to the next gust of wind
Oooo, it’s a beautiful thing
Giving my heart to the next gust of wind
I’m telling you now I’m leaving this town
I suggest that you do the same
I’d do right by myself if I left here for good
But if it’d change, good lord if it only would

It’s the last train out of this ghost town
It’s haunted for sure
The wind slams the doors and the shutters
I’m traveling south for the winter
My debts all are paid
My bags all are packed for the train
I’m traveling south forever
I’ll start over there
No one will know where I came from
