Tom McRae - Got a suitcase, Got regrets lyrics

Change the locks on the door

Put out the light in the hall

I do not live here anymore

Put the world in a box

Turn the sign to the street

Aim for where the horizon and blue skies meet

But all I know is

I'm not ready yet

For the light to dim

Got a suitcase, got regrets

But I'm hopeful yet

I've been a gifted thief

Stole everything for the cause

I never had fingers as light as yours

So wake up pretty girl

See the hope in small things

Disappointment can wear you thin

But all I know is

I'm not ready yet

For the light to dim

Got a suitcase, got regrets

But I'm hopeful yet

Ill raise this glass of wine

And I'll say your name

So let's be killers, babe

Make the great escape

From all the bitter words of every crowded street and empty hall

It's Christmas day, Brooklyn in the rain

But I am safe inside a better world of hope and memory

Drunk on velvet wine

Southern Cross for light

Deal the cards and hope that I can play a better hand

This time
