Leaving |
| Jet fuel and traffic lines |
| Pulling up to the delta signs |
| Distant shape of my hometown |
| Black stain where the wheels touch down |
| I pick up the morning news |
| I pass the man who’s never shined my shoes |
| Through security and to the train |
| That will take me to the airplane |
| Count the miles on the highway |
| (count the miles on the highway) |
| The sum of all my days |
| (the sum of all my days) |
| There’s a postcard there’s a call |
| (there's a call) |
| And there’s a picture for your bedroom wall |
| (bedroom wall) |
| But do you ever wonder through and through |
| Who’s that person standing next to you |
| (who's that person standing next to you) |
| And after all the nights apart |
| Is there a home for a travelling heart |
| But if i weren’t leaving you |
| (if i weren’t leaving, if i weren’t leaving you) |
| I don’t know what i would do |
| (i would do) |
| But the more i go the less i know |
| Will the fire still burn on my return |
| Keep the path lit on the only road i know |
| Honey all i know to do is go A cup of coffee and my bags are packed |
| (coffee and my bags are packed) |
| The same vow not to look back |
| (same vow not to look back) |
| (if i weren’t leaving) |
| Familiar emptiness inside |
| (familiar emptiness inside) |
| As the distances grow wide |
| (if i weren’t leaving) |
| And though i vow to memorize |
| (i vow to memorize) |
| The last look in your loving eyes |
| (the last look in your loving eyes) |
| It’s here dusk and there dawn |
| Oh it’s like a curtain getting slowly drawn |
| But if i weren’t leaving you |
| (if i weren’t leaving, if i weren’t leaving you) |
| I don’t know what i would do |
| (i would do) |
| But the more i go the less i know |
| Will the fire still burn on my return |
| Keep the path lit on the only road i know |
| Honey all i know to do is go But if i weren’t leaving you |
| (if i weren’t leaving, if i weren’t leaving you) |
| I don’t know what i would do |
| (i would do) |
| (leaving you) |
| But the more i go it seems the less i know |
| (but the more i go the less i know) |
| Will the fire still burn on my return |
| (will the fire still burn on my return) |
| Keep the path lit on the only road i know |
| (keep the path lit on the only road i know) |
| Honey all i know to do is go |
