Farewell To The Old Me Lyrics - Dar Williams

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 

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 am 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 

Farewell to the old me 

Farewell to the old me 

My life is working better now 

But always changing anyhow 

But I can turn on the charm 

And 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
