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
