作曲 : Bill Ward/Terrence Butler/Ozzy Osbourne/Tony Iommi

Well,I'm leaving tomorrow at day break

Had the fastest train around nine

Yes,I'm leaving this sorrow and heart aches

Before it takes me away from my mind

Send me love and I may let you see me

Send me holes that can spin in my head

But if you really want me to answer

I could only let you know when I'm dead

When sadness fills my days

It's time to turn away

And let tomorrow's dreams

Become reality to me

Right

So realize I'm much better without you

You're not the one and only thing in my heart

I'll just go back to pretending I'm living

But this time I'm gonna have the depart
