Augie March - Departure lyrics

The horror of departure The chemical disarmament No presence is permanent But people leave traces When they leave these places And I have come to depend on Certain of your faces And I can't do it anymore The spirit of abandon Where the spirit is abandoned And the body thinks itself to soar But people leave traces A spiritual deprature Your disintegrating stature And well you might be scared to look Over your shoulder Watch her crumble into sand The last woman the last man Swim the sea and walk the land To leave and leave and leave and leave People leave traces When they leave these places And I have come to depend on Certain of your faces When will I see you again?
