Independence
Gimenez.E Lyrics

Well Papa go to bed now it's getting late
It's time for Papa to sleep because it's late.

Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
There's nothing we can say that could alter the situation.

I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate
I am leaving tomorrow from St. Mary's Gate.

We wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow
Even if we could, we wouldn't change this situation.

'Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us
The darkness within the house has defeated us.

There's a darkness in this town that's got us too
There's also a darkness within the town that has affected us.

But they can't touch me now
They cannot harm me anymore.

And you can't touch me now
You also cannot harm me now.

They ain't gonna do to me
They will not do the same harm to me.

What I watched them do to you
What I saw them do to you.

So say goodbye it's Independence Day
Accept and acknowledge that today is Independence Day and bid farewell.

It's Independence Day
Today is Independence Day.

All down the line
It applies to everyone.

Just say goodbye it's Independence Day
Simply acknowledge and bid farewell as today is Independence Day.

All boys must run away
All boys must leave.

All men must make their way come Independence Day
All men must depart on Independence Day.

Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's joint
The rooms are empty at Frankie's joint now.

And the highway she's deserted down to Breaker's Point
The highway is empty all the way to Breaker's Point.

There's a lot of people leaving town now
Many people are departing/leaving the town now.

Leaving their friends, their homes
They are leaving behind their friends and homes.

At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone
At night, they walk along the dark and dusty highway alone.

Now I don't know what it always was with us
I'm uncertain why it was always like this between us.

We chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines
We selected our words and marked boundaries between us.

There was just no way this house could hold the two of us
Our house was not big enough to accommodate the two of us together.

I guess that we were just too much of the same kind
I reckon we were too similar to each other.

Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say
Father, I am now aware of the things you wanted to say but couldn't.

But won't you just say goodbye it's Independence Day
But can you not just acknowledge and bid farewell since it is Independence Day.

I swear I never meant to take those things away
I promise that I did not intend to take those things away from you.
