Lyrics Leavin' Days - Over the Rhine

Leavin' Days

I don’t like these leavin' days
Might be too late to change my ways
My body leaves, my soul it stays
I don’t like these leavin' days
I can’t fight these leavin' days
Might be too late to change my ways
My body grieves, my soul, it craves
I can’t fight these leavin' days
I’ll take my leave in the morning
Before the light breaks the day
Before the night wakes up a-warning
I’ll drive the deep blues away
If I don’t take these leavin' days
I miss the road and all her ways
She frees my mind, we roll and sway
God I need these leavin' days
To rage against the dying
Roll, baby, roll, rag, mama, rag
Like every bird we fly the same crosswinds
Gravity, lift and drag
So I don’t mind these leavin' days
Might be too late to change my ways
My body breathes the long refrain
I don’t mind these leavin' days
I can’t fight these leavin' days
God I need these leavin' days
