Story behind the song
When somebody is leaving, whether it be the planet, the country or a partnership, it usually brings us to a state in ourselves where we can question those occasions when we were less sensitive to the needs of others than we might have been.
Lyrics
Somebody's Leaving All that irritation is looking for release So the fooling and the teasing, maybe it has to cease Well, light-hearted banter is fair enough I know But offending sensibilities, that's what has to go Chorus: And now somebody's leaving Who has sometimes done us proud So cry a little, yes, cry a little Some tears they are allowed. We have to remember not to give what we can't take And not push some poor child to the point where they will break And if we're friends together we can rise above in trust And show the force of friendship means we're here in more than dust Chorus Some things can't be forgotten but are maybe best ignored If we hammer vulnerability calamity is assured So maybe we'll remember more the content of the heart Where it's pure and open is the point where we should start Chorus
