A Song for Departure Manic Street Preachers

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
This is a song (This is a song)
A song for a departure (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is a song (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is a song (This is a song)
A song to take you homewards (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is a song (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
This is a song (This is a song)
A song for a departure (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is a song (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is a song (This is a song)
A song to break your heart to (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
This is a song (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
