Lyrics
Leaving In these northern woods the leaves are turning red and golden brown I can feel my blood within their veins When the frozen wind has withered them they all come piling down To remind us that soon we must be leaving Every time I move to close the door a new one opens wide If I come or go it's all the same All our actions keep repeating like the motions of the tide Is there even such a thing as leaving? And everybody knows we have to go Leaving Gazing out the window theres a face you think youve seen somewhere before Leaving Passing into time, into space, and through the ever-open door Leaving Gazing out the window theres a face you think youve seen somewhere before Leaving Passing into time, into space, and through the ever-open door When I finally come undone and can no longer sing my song Oh sweet love, please hasten to my side As I pass into the gleaming hold my hand and keep me strong I may need you to help me through the leaving I may need you to help me through the leaving And everybody knows we have to go (Copyright 2009 by Mark Kaufman)
