going, going, gone

i've just reached a place

where the willow don't bend

there's not much more to be said

it's the top of the end

i am going

i am going

i am gone. i am closing the book

on the pages and the text

and i don't really care

of what happens next

i am just going

i am going

i am gone. i been hanging on threads

i been playing it straight

now i've just got to cut loose

before it gets late

so i am going

i am going

i am gone. grandma said

boy
