Song 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
And I'll 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 heart
It's Christmas day, Brooklyn in the rain
But I am safe inside a better world of hope and memory
Drunk on velvet wine
the Southern Cross for light
Deal the cards and hope that I can play a better hand
This time

I love it. Heard the album version for the first time today, and it made me happier than you can imagine. I find it wonderful that I can get this caught up in music, but Tom just does that to me. Anyhooo, I think the end "So let's be killers babe, make the great escape etc" should've been a bit louder. It's better in the live recording, but what the hell, we can't have it all.
