Leaving Today Lyrics

Mama's leavin' today
It didn't take as long as I thought it would
And there's mounds of clay
In the backyard where our playground once stood
He left months ago
With his college bags, his overcoat, and his clothes
And I'm stuck down here
Still talking to all the people that he knows
To all the people that he knows
And in this background
The colors change
From green to blue
From blue to purple
Purple to red
And in my head
And in my head
Blue
Purple
