[Intro] [Verse 1] They did not have to come Nothing had been done to them They were made of the kind of thing that does not end They could have stayed in the good light They could have kept their faces They could have visited sometimes And nobody would have blamed them [Chorus] But they packed while I was crying And they did not make a speech They just stood there in the doorway With everything they owned And they said, which way [Verse 2] On the boat I told them go back I said this is not your sentence And the older one just looked at me Like I had said something stupid And the younger one said nothing She has never said much She just moved my bag to her side And that was the whole argument [Chorus] So they packed while I was crying And they did not make a speech They just stood there in the doorway With everything they owned And they said, which way [Bridge] I have lost the temple I have lost my face I have lost the way that people used to walk toward me But I did not lose them I did not lose them I did not lose them [Outro] Which way Which way Which way
