Sadness, I'm sorry, I'm leaving
Darkness, so long to you too
I've left all the bottles in a bag in the hall
And I polished my fingernails blue

Fall is my favorite season
The best time for saying good-bye
And the motor's been idling long past warm
And I blinked out the tears from my eyes

And all my stars are aligning
And everything's falling into place
I felt you, I dreamt you, I hope when I find you
There'll be one less river to chase

You were my one good reason
The soul that my own had longed for
The conjured-up fireman, comic and savior
That moves my feet out of this door

And all my stars are aligning
And everything's falling into place
I felt you, I dreamt you, I hope when I find you
There'll be one less river to chase

Driving and crying is better than dying alone
And pulling me so far from home
You are the first thing I ever believed in
And so I thought you should know

That all my stars are aligning
And everything's falling into place
I felt you, I dreamt you, I hope when I find you
There'll be one less river to chase
I felt you, I dreamt you, I hope when I find you
There'll be one less river to chase
