Someone said they'd seen you by your suitcase I think that I know why You've been packing all your life into its wrappings And saying your goodbyes After waiting half the morning I hear footsteps I thought you'd never come Now you tell me that you're leaving in the morning Tonight will be the last we will have Night has a way of getting colder Morning has come and I can't hold her Any more She will go today Now that night has taken time into its keeping And thrown it in my face We just lie here in the darkness counting seconds And pack them in your case I have given everything I had to give you I'd give it all again But I think the time has come for you to leave me Tonight has been the last we will have Night has a way of getting colder Morning has come and I can't hold her anymore She will go today
