(Craig Fuller/Tim Krekel)


It came as quite a shock this morning

After all the plans we'd made to settle down

She said she needed more than I could offer

Said she wanted to see the world beyond this sleepy little town


And now her bags are packed, she's ready to go

In an hour or two she'll be on her way

She made it clear it wouldn't make any difference

If I'm still here tomorrow, she'll still be gone today


She seemed so full of determination

As she turned to me to say her last goodbye

I knew I'd lost control of the situation

'Cause I could see that faraway look in her eye


And now her bags are packed, she's ready to go

In an hour or two she'll be on her way

She made it clear it wouldn't make any difference

If I'm still here tomorrow, she'll still be gone today


I thought our love was built on solid ground

But I feel the Earth shaking and the walls are tumbling down


And now her bags are packed, she's ready to go

In an hour or two she'll be on her way

She made it clear it wouldn't make any difference

If I'm still here tomorrow, she'll still be gone today
