I Came Here to Say I’m Going Away Okkervil River

I just came here to say that I'm going away
Something no little tear of yours can change
Like in that famous poem by Verlaine
Like some ill wind, I'll blow away

Remember the good times that we had
Turn pale or suffocate, I truly regret
Yeah, I'm sorry to say that I'm going away
You ask me, did I love you?
Well, I loved you, okay

I just came here to say that I'm going away
Something no long sob of yours can change
Like in that great old poem by Verlaine
Like some dead leaf, I'll blow away
You remember the sweet things that we said
Turn gray or moan or sway, I truly regret
Yeah, I'm sorry to say I only came to say I'm going away
Babe, because you did too much to me
Cry

I just came to say that I'm going away
Something no little tear of yours can change
And it's just like that great old poem by Verlaine
My memory strays the better days, I'm bound to go away
You remember the good times, yeah, oh, cry
Turn pale or suffocate, I came to say goodbye
I'm sorry to say that I came to tell you I'm going away, babe
Because you did too much to me
Cry
Cry
