I changed my mind
I’m on my way
I am on my way
I am on my way
Leave tomorrow
Leave today
I am on my way
I am on my way
O my gentle chaperone
This is where I stay
But this is not my home
O my gentle chaperone
This is where I stay
But this is not my home
Leave the grizzled soul at bay
While he makes his rounds
He may come your way
If he does He’ll have no sway
He will have no sway
He will have no sway
And into something new
I will forge this longing
While I wait for you
O my gentle chaperone
This is where I stay
But this is not my home
This is where I stay
But this is not my home
