Goodbye Georgia

Goodbye Georgia, I fare thee well beneath the street lights where you sleep
I leave you to the ocean, the waters that surround you
I will not be here when you wake

I’ve seen too much trouble, too much greed
I’ve let myself decay on these streets
I cannot stay here any longer
Or to sweet Georgia I would surrender

Goodbye Georgia I fare thee well, perhaps some day you’ll turn and repent
I leave to see what might be changed
To gain perspective away from this place

Are these hands all I have to hope upon
They bring me stones for thirst and I can’t trust them anymore
So I crawl back to Sister Maragaret, put my head upon her chest and say
Will you love me again until I love
Until I love myself

Goodbye Georgia, I fare thee well beneath the street lights where you sleep
I leave you to the ocean, the waters that surround you
I will not be here when you wake
