Lyrics:

V1: Farewell to my only friend
    You've been so good to me
    Now the carnival has ended
    Let's set the tigers free

V2: The spring was always early
    And the winter never came
    But since I got this hunger
    It just hasn't been the same

C1: I'm leaving for the great wide open plains
    Leaving while this holy spark remains
    I see you've written promises to make me stay
    But it really doesn't matter now anyway
    I'm leaving

V3: True love feeds on absences like pleasure feeds on pain
    So no matter where I'm standing I still love you all the same
    And I hope you feel the same way when its your turn to disappear
    I'll be cheering from the sidelines with a sandwich and a beer

C2: I'm leaving for the great wide open plains
    Leaving while this holy spark remains
    I see you've written promises to make me stay
    But it really doesn't matter now anyway
    I'm leaving

V4: And all at once I step outside into the wind and rain
    I let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same

   (And all at once I step outside into the wind and rain
    I let it wash my weary eyes and see you do the same)

C3: I'm leaving for the great wide open plains
    Leaving while this holy spark remains
    I see you've written promises to make me stay
    But it really doesn't matter now anyway
    I'm leaving
