Overcome

Empty dishes still sitting where I'm gonna leave it
 This lamp hasn't been lit in quite a long while
 The wick doesn't reach what's left of the wax
 And the rain is coming and I'm overcome
 These bad newspapers, they pile up on me
 Dogs gaze out the window, I know how they feel
 Adventure, adventure or sit by the door?
 Open open, sesame, I'm overcome
 Figurines, dripping faucets, laundry and dust
 I hate to leave this a mess but I must
 Small little suitcase, smaller little belt
 Small walking shoes and a whole life to prove
 Keepsakes can be anchors and anvils and such
 Like pianos and pets and the people we love
 Can't change the world from this chair on my space
 Spiders tag walls with their names in this place
 Figurines, dripping faucets, laundry and dust
 I hate to leave this a mess but I must
 Small little suitcase, smaller little belt
 Small walking shoes and a whole life to prove
 Oh, it's never a clean break when you're trying to leave
 But songbirds need homes in live oak trees
