Lyrics Farewell to the Old Me - Dar Williams

Farewell to the Old Me

How can I ask love to hold the mystery
When just look at me It’s all push and pull collateral
I don’t want to be the one who gets the next surprise
I’ll plan it out this time
Though I used to think that things were meant to be So farewell to the old me Farewell to the old me My life is working better now
It’s always changing anyhow
I danced a lot of nights until the grass was wet
It wasn’t over yet
'Round 'bout 3 a.
m.
you made a friend
And I followed a lot of vital crazy thoughts
Because it’s where the meaning was
And I tried to find it every other way
So farewell to the old me Farewell to the old me My life is getting better now
But always changing anyhow
But I can turn on the charm
Show them nothing more
Than what I’ve done before
It’s nothing much new
But it’ll do
'Cause I don’t wanna be the one who makes you laugh out loud
I wanna make you proud
And you always said you knew what I could be So farewell to the old me Farewell to the old me Farewell to the old me My life is working better now
But always changing anyhow
Time
And the old me Farewell to the old me Farewell…
