Lyrics
Moving Day
Jean Rohe 2011
All it takes is a full glass of wine
And a couple good jokes to help pass the time
Leave your lady and come lie by my side
Cause tomorrow is moving day
Between the boxes there’s enough room for two
Bare bodies, bare walls, the bare nails peeking through
Out with the old, you say, and in with the new
Cause tomorrow is moving day
Oh, the sorrow, watching you pack your things, leaving no trace
One more dance before you unplug the stereo and cast me from your embrace
Our bodies remember what the walls will forget
And you two have a lifetime ahead of you yet
No time for shame, I got no time for regret
And tomorrow is moving day
The things people give us, the things that we choose
The weird shit we hang onto and the good things we lose
Pack it all up in a big box of blues
Cause tomorrow is moving day
