Going Away Party

I'm throwing a going away party
A party for a dream of mine;
So put me somewhere off in a corner
With a glass and a bottle of your party wine

Don't worry, it won't be a loud party
I'm feeling too low to get too high;
It's just a sad going away party
For a dream I am telling goodbye.

I'm throwing a going away party
A party for a dream of mine;
Nobody's coming but a heartache
And some tears may drop in now most anytime.

Don't worry it won't be a loud party -
Dreams don't make noise when they die;
And so since it's a going away party
Go away... and let me cry.

It's just a going away party
For a dream I am telling goodbye.
