Boxes

    Closed down the house now on this sad affair
    very last step of a thousand steps there
    and will we every reach the sky now I won't care
    He called me liar when I told him I loved him
    and I thought it was plain as the sky above him
    He called me a liar
    Yeah, he called me a liar

    And I got these boxes piled up on the lawn
    And I say to myself in a little while I'll be gone
    And he will just turn back into the house and go on
    And my car will drive away and turn into a song

    He got the lampshade, I got the cat.
    Strange sensation, coming down to that
    Strange sensation, coming down to that ...baby
    He's got the four walls and I've got the sky of gray
    He said he'd like to get out of harm's way
    Ooooohhh
    Get out, baby

    And I got these boxes piled up on the lawn
    And I say to myself in a little while I'll be gone
    And he will just turn back into the house and go on
    And my car will drive away and turn into a song
    He wants me to understand and he wants me to say
    how I understand we'd be better off this way
    wants me to pack my things and he wants me to go
    but he sure does care about me, oh he wants me to know

    I got these boxes piled up on the lawn
    And I say to myself in a little while I'll be gone
    And he will just turn back into the house and go on
    And my car will drive away and turn into a song
