Leaving you in the care of others
I won't be letting you down
Clowning around on the green of this town
I won't be letting you down

It's easy to draw yourself a circle
Just trace it back to yourself
A father who can't hold himself together
A grandson who's just left the ground

She's coming in for landing but you're leaving much too soon
She handles disappointment like her mom
And I wanted her to meet you and to carry her away
And to touch each other's hearts of palm

Flowers on the kitchen table
Not a dry eye in the house
Someone knows you better than I do
That leaves my heart in my mouth

She's coming in for landing but you're leaving much too soon
She handles disappointment like her mom
And I wanted her to meet you and to carry her away
And to touch each other's hearts of palm

Sunday Catholic morning after shave
Coffee grounds there in the sink
It's Easter and the bastards haven't left me
But here is a song you can sing

She's coming in for landing but you're leaving much too soon
She handles disappointment like her mom
And I wanted her to meet you and to carry her away
And to touch each other's hearts of palm
And to touch each other's hearts of palm.
