Might as well take pinky strings
And throw them up to a cartoon king
Maybe he could offer me a coin
Cause I got nothing here, myself, to keep me going
What I'd do for a magic dime
Overwork it a million times
For a start, I'd get caught up on you
And how the days jump ahead until you're ready
I would change what I can, pay your heart's levy

Whenever you go away
Whenever you go away
I'm like a baby in deep water
Trying to swim
Whenever you go away
A good day's a dreadful place
And bottom's a hundred years old, begging to go
And living to roll out the end

What's the use of gum in a wrapper?
And what it life without the here and after
Or another without a story to tell?
Cause I'm better off on the shelf
With the dust and the things we forget
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]
Like that colorful pottery set
We made, like the days you number for my heart
I would be your lucky star if I had one
Said, I'll be in the hanky in your pocket
To steal one hour from the sun

Whenever you go away
Whenever you go away
I'm like a baby in deep water
Trying to swim
Whenever you go away
A good day's a dreadful place
And bottom's a hundred years old, begging to go
And living to roll out the end

Whenever you go
Whenever you go away

Whenever you go away
Whenever you go away
I'm like a baby in deep water
Trying to swim
Whenever you go away
A good day's a dreadful place
And bottom's a hundred years old, begging to go
And living to roll out the end
A hundred years old, begging to go
And living to roll out the end
