(Intro) The kettle's still whistling, the window still grimes, Another grey morning, same as all times. A single shoe waits by the door, unlaced, A silent witness, now merely misplaced. (Verse 1) The last cup of tea, a forgotten refrain, The newspaper crumpled, soaked in the rain. A half-finished list of things to be done, All left in the sunlight, now chasing the sun. No grand pronouncements, no thunderous sound, Just quiet objects, spread out on the ground. (Chorus) So tell me, **what do I leave behind, when I go my way?** A stack of old bills? A half-eaten scone from yesterday? And tell me, **who do I leave behind, when I go away?** Just the neighbours' cat, still waiting for its daily stay. (Verse 2) The cashier at the Co-op, who knew my face well, The bus driver’s nod, a story to tell. A crack in the pavement, I always avoided, The ghost of a promise, conveniently voided. No weeping masses, no statues of stone, Just ordinary moments, quietly flown. (Chorus) So tell me, **what do I leave behind, when I go my way?** A stack of old bills? A half-eaten scone from yesterday? And tell me, **who do I leave behind, when I go away?** Just the neighbours' cat, still waiting for its daily stay. (Bridge) Perhaps it’s just nothing, a ripple in air, A quick passing shadow, beyond all men's care. No grand revelation, no lasting desire, Just smoke from a chimney, gone up in the fire. The world keeps on turning, regardless of me, A silent agreement, for all eyes to see. (Chorus) So tell me, **what do I leave behind, when I go my way?** A stack of old bills? A half-eaten scone from yesterday? And tell me, **who do I leave behind, when I go away?** Just the neighbours' cat, still waiting for its daily stay. (Outro) **What do I leave behind...** **When I go my way...** **Who do I leave behind...** **When I go away...** Just the dust on the floor... and the light in the grey.
