We used to make the coal pits shine
We turned a spark into firelight
Look to the stars in the middle of the night
For anything that’s gonna save our lives but
Our luck is like the passing time it’s
Too short and of the very worst kind
I’m a fast man for my size
I’m pretty fast but I’m running behind so
After winter
When you find no spring
We’ll be leaving
On a whim
He’s been a good friend to me
He said to move it down to Seventh Street
Set up shop out of the Mercury
Find the Living Room and play for free well I
Would not call it a tragedy but
This place ain’t what it used to be
It saved nothing at all for me
Blew it all away in Ninety-three so
After winter
When you find no spring
I’ll be out here on a limb
I’m tired of sinkin’ man
It’s time to swim
We’ll be leavin’ on a whim
We’ll be leavin’ on a whim
I sang a song for some mighty god
I left his stage to no applause and I
I think its time for me to move along
I don’t know how but I got it all I got it all wrong
So after winter
When you find no spring
I’ll be out here on a limb
Tired of sinkin’ babe it’s time to swim
We’ll be leavin’ on a whim
We’ll be leavin’ on a whim
We’ll be leavin’ on a whim
We’ll be leavin’
We’ll be leavin’
We’ll be leavin’
We’ll be leavin’
We’ll be leavin’ on a whim
We’ll be leavin’ on a whim
