We'Re Leaving Tomorrow

It’s a little bit 
After tomorrow
We’re  leaving 
We have to go soon
It’s noon and we’re 
Feeling no sorrow
So set all the clocks
Back for always
Goodbyes and 
No sighs just
A song

It’s wrong 
How we know it
So quickly
The misses 
And Mr.  
So Long!
Like sunsets
And you bet
With manners
No plans
But we see you
And yet
We’re  leaving

The meaning
Is after
With willows 
That weep
While you
Slept

The street has
A sign
Like beginnings 
The endings
Like pillows
That turn
You’ll  learn
It’s the goodbyes
So often
That soften the
Sorrows that smiled 
The miles is just
“Where are we going?”
Not knowing the 
Mystery 
The while

So tell me 
“Hello”
With a heartache
We’ll make and then 
We can go
To show us tomorrow
With whispers that
Borrow a reason
We’ll know

It’s always and 
Everywhere
We like it
It gets so far 
Then we cry
Like goodbye
I’m leaving tomorrow
If you know the reasons
Then why
