Restless Farewell

Joan Baez

Oh, all the money in my whole life I spent 
Be it mine right or wrongfully 
I let it slip gladly past the hands of my friends 
To tie up the time most forcefully 

But the bottles are done, we've killed each one 
And the tables are full and overflowed 
And the corner sign says, "It's closing time" 
So I'll bid farewell and be down the road 

Oh, every boy that ever I've touched 
I did not do it harmfully 
And every boy that ever I've hurt 
I did not do it knowingly 

But to remain as friends, you need the time 
To make amends and stay behind 
And since my feet are now fast and point away from the past 
I'll bid farewell and be down the line 

Oh, every foe that ever I faced 
The cause was there before we came 
And every cause that ever I fought 
I fought it full without regret or shame 

But the dark does die as the curtain is drawn 
And somebody's eyes must meet the dawn 
And if I see the day I'll only have to stay 
So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone 

Oh, a false clock tries to tick out my time 
To disgrace, distract and bother me 
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face 
And the dust of rumors covers me 

But if the arrow is straight and the point is slick 
It can pierce through the dust no matter how thick 
So I'll make my stand and remain as I am 
And bid farewell and not give a damn
