Take what you want, see to it
You dust all your memories away
'Cause I can't find the strength to do it
I can't remember what should go or what should stay

But it's a fine time of year to do it
And it's a fine time of year to let me know
Yes, it's a fine time of year to watch you disappear
It's a fine time of year to let me go

Well, you got a way with unmarked boxes
There's something there that you could call your own
I just can't find a pleasant way to put it
So I'll just leave it in the closet and be gone

But it's a fine time of year to do it
Yes, it's a fine time of year to let me know
Well, it's a fine time of year to watch you disappear
It's a fine time of year to let me go

Now there were times back in the day, babe
We'd pull that all together
Weather every storm that ever came our way
Oh, but now here you are
You're packing boxes and books and dishes
All your wishes coming true for you today

Well, it's a fine time of year to do it
Well, it's a fine time of year let me know
Yes, it's a fine time of year to watch you disappear
It's a fine time of year to let me go
Well, it's a fine time to watch you disappear
It's a fine time of year to let me go
