I must pay for all my sins, I must run away again

I'm disappearing for the whole month of July

To a town I cannot name, with my heart all full of shame

I just hope nobody asks me why



They will welcome me in with the open arms of friends

I’ll do my best to leave it a better place

With silence in my mouth from all the hate down south

I will absorb it and then send it on its way



Chorus:

Because a man cannot say goodbye anymore, ……

No a man cannot say goodbye anymore


The deep sleep it will come, I will wake up with the sun

Drink my water and sit out with the birds

For I feel my only crime is being hungry all the time

In every possible definition of that word
