Oh, all of the ways that you have helped me
always made me feel like family
Always offering time, always offering means
always filling in the in-betweens
You opened your place and gave me the key
and supported years of memories
When I needed some time to go out of my mind, alone,
that was the place to be
Playing and singing
Watching the sunset
coming and going
whenever I felt like it
Just letting me be me
who and what and how I pleased
but I need to be free
and if I stay here, I know I'll never be
I've got to be through here
'cause it doesn't matter
what I do here
there's no climbing the ladder
in the middle of nowhere
When it's time to say goodbye
I know I'll leave a piece of myself behind
When it's time for me to go away
I know a part of you will stay with me through my life
But until then let's stay high
and until then let's say hi
I can't swallow it down, I just don't believe
that it's really time for me to go
On the road ahead, if we never meet again
I hope you'll always know
Oh all of the ways you helped me and now......
I'm pulling the curtain leaving the stage
I'm turning the age for turning the page
