lyrics

It's time to go Penelope
Our train will leave here soon
There's a world out there, in winter air
Waiting outside your room

White snow, and snowball fights
State Street, bathed in light
You've always asked me to paint you the picture
But I wish I could just give you my sight

Like that one time you fought
That bearded guy in the bar
He called you a crippled fool
And I said "Darling, let's go to the car"
You nodded your head as if to go
But then you turned around, gave him a nasty blow
He fell of his seat...The owner kicked us onto the street

You've grown up Penelope
I gotta realize that soon
You're smarter than me at 23
You're really starting to bloom

Your mother would be so proud of you
Attending a big school, she was right
When she said you'd grow to be fearless and bright

I just don't want you to end up alone
It would kill me to see you growing
Old with me at our ancient home

I love you Penelope
You're the treasure of my life
You're going to defy all those expectations
I've known it since that night

It's time to go Penelope
Our train will leave here soon
There's a world out there, if you dare
Waiting outside your room

Your mother would be so proud of you
Attending a big school, she was right
When she said you'd grow to be fearless and bright

I just don't want you to end up alone
It would kill me to see you growing
Old with me at our ancient home

I won't always be around
To be your set of eyes
I just need to know that someone
Will want to paint you the stars in the sky
