letra de due to depart - craig finn

woke up in her bed to a text from a friend that said “you better come quick
there’s been an accident, a crash
they closed off the entrance ramp, hard to really say what might happen”

got out of bed and got dressed and i gave her a kiss
careful so that she didn’t wake
i left her some cash just in case

started the car and i drove to the mini mart
put some gas in the tank
paid with a card so i wouldn’t even have to say thanks

i was born a town over ‘cause that’s where the hospital was when i was due to arrive
now it’s st. mary’s on the far end of the county, about a 25-minute drive
a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, weddings, graduations, and mass
my sister’s a teacher and she moved to ohio, my brother always drove pretty fast
a niece and two nephews dressed up for christmas
suspended where the picture was hung
i got one of my own and she’s fourteen years old
from when her mother and i were too young

sat in my car and i listened to music
sang along under my breath
it’s hard to really say what might happen
in the moments that trail sudden death

drove to the service road and rolled down the windows
put my foot on the gas
my sister’s a teacher in dayton, ohio
and my brother always drove pretty fast

tell my daughter i love her
tell her mother i’m sorry
tell them both that there here in my heart
it’s so hard to know the right time to show up
but you’ll know when you due to depart

it’s so hard to know the right time to show up
but you’ll know when you due to depart
