Farewell to the Old Me Lyrics by Dar Williams

The Beauty of the Rain

2003

[Verse 1]
How can I ask love to hold the mystery?
When just look at me
It's all push and pull collateral
I don't wanna be the one that gets the next surprise
I'll plan it out this time
Though I used to think that things were meant to be
[Chorus]
Farewell to the old me
Farewell to the old me
My life is working better now
It's always changing anyhow
[Verse 2]
I danced a lot of nights until the grass was wet
It wasn't over yet
'Round 'bout 3 a.m. you made a friend
And I followed a lot of vital crazy thoughts because
It's where the meaning was
And I tried to find it every other way
[Chorus]
Farewell to the old me
Farewell to the old me
My life is getting better now
It all was changing anyhow
[Verse 3]
But I can turn on the charm and show them nothing more
Than what I've done before
It's nothing much new but it'll do
'Cause I don't wanna be the one who makes you laugh out loud
I wanna make you proud
And you always said you knew what I could be
[Chorus]
So farewell to the old me
Farewell to the old me
My life is working better now
But always changing any, anyhow
Time and the old me
Farewell (Time) to the old me
Farewell
