ANNIVERSARY

This is the day you disappeared 
Your hand was steady and I know that your mind was clear 
You left a note up on the shelf 
Saying "I would rather be anyone but myself" 

You took a simple ride across the Great Divide 
You left the television on in you room 
Your friends were sad although they said "I told you so" 
You never really did fit into your skin 

The small annoying things you do 
All seemed so cute and entertaining when they were new 
This kind of honeymoon can't last 
I think you knew you wore your welcome out much too fast 

I was surprised to see you played the lottery 
Your winning ticket you won't need anymore 
You were in such a rush you never stopped to check 
You jacket pocket on your way out the door 

This is your anniversary 
I'll light a candle in the window so you might see 
This is the day you had to go 
Good-bye then, this concludes your portion of the show
