I Wasnt Ready

I've got a ticket in my hand
I don't need to use
I've got a suitcase to pack
I'm coming home to see you
to see you

I,
I wasn't ready to say goodbye
Bad news is hard to comprehend down a telephone line
And you
you gave us all a fright
But you were still the brave one
You were still the brave one

I've got twenty dollars to my name
And it won't last for long
A twenty dollar champagne
Tasting celebration's song - sing along

I,
I wasn't ready to say goodbye
I panicked and I dropped my bundle in the mud and myre
Information overload
As though I could make sense of this
As if I could make sense of this

Drifting on the evening's tide
The shoreline fades away
In tangerine light
Silent in a gentle sway

Love, love tell me could you see
The years laid out before you kept hidden from me
You gave us all a fright
You were still the brave one
You were still the brave one

And I wasn't ready to say goodbye
