When it's your time to go away
I hope I have the strength to say
I hope it turns out fine for you
Maybe I'll smile, I'll kiss your cheek
I'll look strong when I'm feeling weak
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do
You're still here but I know you've gone
Your eyes are looking towards the sun
Following its journey across the sea
Your land is pink flamingo warm
Your land is summer coming home
I know that's where you need to be
It kind of caught me out of time
I was running so fast, I was feeling fine
I had it all, I didn't want no more
But you were wanting and I never saw
I wanted you to hurt like me
What a fool, I couldn't see
You'd been hurting longer than I knew
Maybe you played your part too well
You held it back and you couldn't tell
You had to go before I knew it too
It kind of caught me out of time
I was running so fast, I was feeling fine
I had it all, I didn't want no more
But you were wanting and I never saw
When it's your time to go away
I hope I have the strength to say
I hope it works out fine for you
