Leaving Song lyrics

by

Mary Chapin Carpenter


[Verse 1]
When you see that you're leaving
And you see that you're gone
And you see there's no saying
"Goodbye"

[Verse 2]
All the trees are in mourning
The light is late from the sun
Casting shadow on shadow
Now and from the sky

[Chorus]
And it's hard not to want to turn around
It's hard not to want to back on down
We're only as strong as our hearts within
Only as strong

[Verse 3]
And all you know of where the road goes
Is some place far and unknown
You would think you would have gotten
Used to it all by now

[Verse 4]
But each day just gets harder
Every journey alone
Never knowing if you'll make it
Back home somehow
[Chorus]
And it's hard not to want to turn around
It's hard not to want to back on down
We're only as brave as we think we are
Only as brave

[Chorus]
And it's hard not to want to turn it down
For some guaranteed soul-crushing merry-go-round
But it driven you straight into the ground
Driven you down

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
And the three greatest gifts of moving on
Are forgiveness, hope and the great beyond
After that perhaps peace can come
Peace will come

[Outro]
And you see that you're leaving
And you see that you're gone
