TIM BARRY LYRICS

"With Ease I Leave"

This city's not the same without you but I proud here on my own
Below this winter sky I ain't counting time but it sure is passing slow
Been sitting up at the overlook the view's best now it's cold
Coal loads go east and empties west and the river's been mighty low

Yeah the mayor's out spinning his on top again
And the river front's gone to those with most cash in hand

Oh I know I think too much and spend too much time alone
But that don't mean I don't miss you when you're gone
Aside from promises and a few friends I made I don't think I'll stay here long
With ease I leave before my roots have grown

I wish I could slow you down and shake you sometimes instead I'll listen more
To the same old thoughts I've heard a thousand times and hope to hear one thousand more
Like how the city of the future plan blindly preys on the working poor
All collared blue with eyes bloodshot red on payment plans to keep warm

Yeah I've learned to stay as far and as close as I can possibly understand
But sometimes it gets so heavy lord I can't

Oh I know I think too much and spend too much time alone
But that don't mean I don't miss you when you're gone
Aside from promises and a few friends I made I don't think I'll stay here long
With ease I leave before my roots have grown
But I don't know

I need you more that you need me in too many ways
And I can't stand dependence so I can't stay

Lord I know I think too much and spend too much time alone
But that don't mean I don't miss you when you're gone
Aside from promises and a few friends I made I don't think I'll stay here long
With ease I leave before my roots have grown

I'll be gone before you are even home
