(Fiett/Fletcher)
Nothing is moving, all the world is still
No birds are singing and they never will
Cause you're leaving
No doors are open, the sun doesn't smile
There's no sign of laughter, it rains all the while
And I'm grieving
Cause you're leavin', leavin'
Food doesn't tempt me
No coffee or cakes, everything's empty
My heart's full of aches, nothing can please me
Why are you leaving?
Oh, no silver linings, no fluffy white clouds
I keep on walking, I'm lost in a crowd
Cause you're leaving
Nothing gives me pleasure, nothing gives me pain
I'm all over numb and I can't explain
Now you're leaving
Cause you're leavin', leavin'
So you put me down, you go your way around
I'm glad you're doing fine, I'll make out in time
Don't you worry, now you're leaving
Jet fuel and traffic lines
Pulling up to the delta signs
Distant shape of my hometown
Black stain where the wheels touch down
I pick up the morning news
I pass the man who's never shined my shoes
Through security and to the train
That will take me to the aeroplane
Count the miles on the highway
The sum of all my days
There's a postcard, there's a call
And there's a picture for your bedroom wall
But do you ever wonder through and through?
Who's that person standing next to you?
And after all the nights apart
Is there a home for a traveling heart
But if I weren't leaving you
I don't know what I would do
But the more I go, the less I know
Will the fire still burn on my return?
Keep the path lit on the only road I know
Honey, all I know to do is go
A cup of coffee and my bags are packed
The same vow not to look back
Familiar emptiness inside
As the distances grow wide
And though I vow to memorize
The last look in your loving eyes
It's here dusk and there dawn
Oh it's like a curtain getting slowly drawn
But if I weren't leaving you
I don't know what I would do
But the more I go, the less I know
Will the fire still burn on my return?
Keep the path lit on the only road I know
Honey, all I know to do is go
But if I weren't leaving you
I don't know what I would do
But the more I go it seems the less I know
Will the fire still burn on my return
Keep the path lit on the only road I know
Watching the clock on the wall
Been a while since you called
I can't help but wait
It's late and I can't get no sleep
SomethingÂ’s different this time
It just doesn't feel right
Have we broken in two?
Am I really gonna lose you tonight?
You come walking in
Tears in your eyes
Pretending like it's alright
Chorus:
But I know youÂ’re leaving
I know that smile
I can tell you've been crying
YouÂ’re gonna say goodbye
I wish I could stop you
But you've made up your mind
I beg you don't go
But I already know youÂ’re leaving
Where does the time go?
Between goodbye and hello
How did we come to this is there something we missed
Along the way
With your bags at the door
I wanna pull you in close
And hold you once more even though
Chorus
Here come the sleepless nights
Here come the tears IÂ’m gonna cry
Here comes the last goodbye leaving us behind
Oh this can't be right
Leaving For The Flatlands
Don Williams
Album: Flatlands
Sweetly flows the water from the mountain
Softly falls the rain upon the leaves
Gently blows the breeze among the cedars
Quietly my heart is on its knees
How could anything in all creation
Be more beautiful than all I see
With it all my heart is not rejoicing
Because the one I love is not with me
Somewhere in between us was a difference
Not we or all this beauty could secure
And I know now my heart will ache forever
And I wonder if this mountain can endure
So l'm leavin'for the flatlands
Goin' back where I was conceived
Goin' back where nobody knows the difference
This mountain knows too much about me
I though it was written up in heaven
That you would be with me and I with you
Sun and moon and stars must feel the difference
And they're wishin' there was somethin' they could do
(Chorus)
I know when enough's enough and you're leaving
If I don't have the time to decide on your freedom
But I can still find some hope to believe in love
(Verse)
Our love is dead, but the dead don't go away
They made us what we are , they're with us everyday
Our love is dead, but the dead they're still alive
In memory and thoughts, and the context they provide
(Chorus)
I know when enough's enough and you're leaving
If I don't have the time to decide on your freedom
But I can still find some hope to believe in love
(Chorus)
I know when enough's enough and you're leaving
If I don't have the time to decide on your freedom
But I can still find some hope to believe in love
(Verse)
Our love is dead,(our love is dead)
But the dead are here to stay (don't go away)
They made us what we are (that's what we are)
They're with us everyday (oh everyday)
In darkest nights (in darkest nights)
The memory keeps us strong (it keeps us strong)
And if our love is dead (our love is dead)
It won't be dead for long (no not for long)
(Chorus)
I know when enough's enough and you're leaving
If I don't have the time to decide on your freedom
But I can still find some hope to believe in love
(Chorus)
I know when enough's enough and you're leaving
If I don't have the time to decide on your freedom
But I can still find some hope to believe in love
Believe in love
Don't go away
(Chorus)
I know when enough's enough and you're leaving
If I don't have the time to decide on your freedom
But I can still find some hope to believe in love
(Chorus)
I know when enough's enough and you're leaving
If I don't have the time to decide on your freedom
But I can still find some hope to believe in love

Now as for me, I'm moving on
You walked into the room
Sat down on the chair
Didn't say anything
Didn't look anywhere
Poured the coffee in the cup
Took the jug off the tray
Poured the milk in the coffee
Drank the cafe au lait
You lit a cigarette up
And just stared into space
And a tear from your eye
Left a mark on your face
You took your handkerchief out
And brushed the tear away
Put the cups in the sink
And the coffee away
Checked the time on your watch
Put the milk in the fridge
Ran the water to hot
Then you washed up the cups
You took your coat off the hook
And you opened the door
And walked out of my life.
INSTRUMENTAL
The sun was shinin' brightly
No clouds in the sky
People talkin' outside
And the traffic went by
All the world was hurryin' on
Just as if there was nothing wrong.
You walked into the room
Sat down on the chair
You didn't say anything
Didn't look anywhere
Poured the coffee in the cup
Took the jug off the tray
Poured the milk in the coffee
An' drank the cafe au lait
You lit a cigarette up
And just stared into space
And a tear from your eye
Left a mark on your face
You took your handkerchief out
And wiped the tear away
Put the cups in the sink
And the coffee away
Checked the time on your watch
Put the milk in the fridge
You ran the water to hot
Then you washed up the cups
You took your coat off the hook
And you opened the door
i never tried one minute to be wealthy
i told them all since i was there
please don't
don't push that thing on me that i never want
i got to keep my head Ocuz i wanna leave it all
i'm talkin' of leavin'
leavin' it all
blowin' it out
down a thousand miles of road
saw my dream
i seen me wealthy
i changed my face to face the demons
i gave my soul away for what i had become
i pushed that dream away so far and now it's gone
i'm gonna leave it
leavin' it all
gonna blow it out
down ten thousand miles of road
i go all day outside the mind
instead of wastin' any time
is someone i can see for miles
if i can only cross the line
inside a galaxy
am i waiting for someone to come
and find
and find me
i won't wait
no
yeah
I was a little lost
Rode home on my bicycle
The night was warm and it was June
Charleston gets so hot so soon
It reminded me of leaving
Walked into a crowded room
Looked around for a place to stand
Everyone I did not know, and knew
Reminded me of you
Reminded me of leaving, this evening
Reminded me of leaving,
Reminded me of you
Stood so near the ocean
Wearing only your birthday suits
We were tripping eight miles high
Shooting stars, your blue disguise
Reminded me of leaving, this evening
Reminded me of leaving, just breathing
Reminded me of leaving...
Setting the tone, hoping to reach what I aimed for
Trying so hard to figure out what I came for
But it really don't matter, speaking nowhere
And something was said without meaning
Doing what I was meant to, stop you from reeling
But it really don't matter, really don't matter no more
So tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
How am I supposed to rob you now?
Tired like hell, sleeping away till the evening
Wondering why it hurts when I think about leaving
But it really don't matter
Nowhere to go and nothing is left to believe in
Looking around, I can't understand what I'm seeing
But it really don't matter, really don't matter no more
So tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
How am I supposed to rob you any other way?
Nothing can repair what I have done
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
How am I supposed to rob you now?
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
How am I supposed to rob you now?
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
How am I supposed to rob you now?
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
How am I supposed to rob you now?
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
How am I supposed to rob you now?
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
Tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel when you die
Please don't leave me without saying goodbye,
without saying goodbye.
You and I, cold February night
It's been a half an hour
Taking sweet time saying our goodbyes
One minute more, GO!!!
The best day of my life is all thanks to you
Precious remembrance saved for rainy days or February
Few scenes from my life or moments mean more to me than our fine nights,
I remember like yesterday, the time of my life.
Please don't leave me without saying goodbye.
without saying goodbye
Please don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye
Let's travel back in time.
2-12-99 at the stroke of midnight
Holding you tight, your body and mine, in February
Few scenes from my life or moments mean more to me than our fine nights,
I remember like yesterday, the time of my life
Please don't leave me without saying goodbye.
without saying goodbye
Please don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye
Please don't leave me without saying goodbye.
without saying goodbye
Please don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye
Making my own city lights
Out of bourbon and the stars of a bar room fight
Face forward in the wind
If you don't know where it is but you know where it's been
Then it's leaving, leaving, leaving but I don't know where
Leaving, leaving, leaving but I don't know where
I tried to keep myself in line
I been bad but I seem to get back I every time
Now I come back and the place is all locked
Between the door knob and the doorbell, somebody talked
Now it's leaving, leaving, leaving but I don't know where
Leaving, leaving, leaving but I don't know where
Every time I turn around
Something else just floated away
There ain't a single thing that I've found
With wings that decided to stay
Maybe it's the place on the wall
Or maybe it's the space where the phone didn't call
or Maybe it's this thing in my chest
We'll know what it was by the hole that it left
Now it's leaving, leaving but I don't know where
Leaving, leaving, leaving but I don't know where
Angel: Feel the chill, understand
Bring your hands into my hands
My hands
Man: You can do anything you need
And you can do it anytime
All I want is you to talk to me
And the rest we will find
Angel: Time is not what it feels
Time is nothing, it's not real
It's not real
Woman: Save me!
I don't know how much more I can stand
I gave you my lovin'
You can't just put it back in my hand
Man: I just can't go on like this
I'm not myself
And your abuse won't change a thing
I must be free to choose
Angel: Time is not what it feels
Time is nothing, it's not real
But I will be there tomorrow
Tomorrow
Woman: My love please wait and talk awhile!
Please tell me what I have to do for you to still love me!
Man: I don't know
I just don't think we're ever gonna work it out
As I'm standing here I'm loving you with a lingering doubt
Woman: Now my heart is full
It's going to break and spill all over the place
Angel: Time is not what it feels
Time is nothing, it's not real
It's not real
Man & Woman: Hey babe
All I've got to say
Is it's gonna make me sad
But it's a price we have to pay
Angel: Time is not what it feels
Time is nothing, it's not real
But I will be there tomorrow
Tomorrow
Time is not what's real
There's nothing else, nothing feels
Time is not what's real
There's nothing left you wanna feel
Time is not what's real
You are here. You feel
You were here
Time is real
Feel, you feel
You feel, you feel
Time is not real
You still love her
You don€™t know me yet
So I€™m leaving
Before you do
So don€™t whisper
Don€™t wonder
Don€™t miss her
Just go and find her
I make your choice
I make your wisdom
I make you fall
From your resistance
I will think
That I€™m just too late
I will think hard
That it has nothing to do with me
So I€™m leaving
While I€™m stronger
I€™m leaving
Cause our love is younger
I make your choice
I make your wisdom
I make you fall
From your resistance
I make your choice
I make your wisdom
I make you fall
From your resistance
Remenber me for what I was
Not as i am now
i'll merge into the shadows
I'll disappear into the rain
Remember me for what I was
Not as you see me now
I'll walk out into tomorrow
I'll melt into the sun
Remember me for what I was
A glance in your direction at the right time
A smile breaking into a crescent moon
A word of reassurance
I'll protect myself
Against the cold lash of tongues and lies
I'll blend in with the crowd
I'll disperse into a stream
I'll fade into the darkness
I'll turn and walk away
Remember me for what i was
As one world breaks in two
I'll follow my own stricts
I'll forge another path
Remember me for what I was
No what I couldn't be
Remember me for what I was
you've got the shock
you've got the crying
you've got the guild
you've got the house
i have got leaving on my side
you've got rock bottom
you've got the people
you've got the winter
you've got the penance
the upper hand
the promised land
if nothing counts
and if something is nothing
i've got leaving on my side
it counts for something
if nothing is something
i've got leaving on my mind
it counts if nothing counts
You always thought you owned me.
Did you ever expect the change?
I'm no longer your slave toy now; mesmerized with your filthy ways.
I will obey my passion. Count on the fact you're gonna obey me.
You will not silence the knowledge that's opened my eyes to see.
How "narrow minded" am I to deny "natural impulses"
That invite my death inside - That's why I'm leaving you
Embrace at the core of what your feeling,
ignore any consequence its dealing.
Suggest to me this, that's why I'm leaving you.
You always come in on the right cue to accommodate a compromise.
I'll no longer entertain your pleading to accommodate my demise.
Too long I've fed the mouth that's killed me.
Your promised pleasure's only left me pain.
You always said that "If it feels good, do it".
You failed to mention there's a price to pay.
Hit me harder. Shaken, I falter.
Fighting this sickness, this plague has become a beast.
Killing its tendencies - the beast I fight is me.
Hey, if you wanna play, you€šre gonna play for a price now.
Hey, if you wanna play, you€šre gonna pay with your life.
I'm leaving here today. I'm gonna go real far away from here. I'm gonna find a girl like the one I met in high school. But she's not gonna get away this time. I'm gonna keep her by my side. Not gonna lose my grip on you. I'm gonna somehow make it through this time. Not gonna fuck up like I did back then. Maybe I'll even fall in love again.
And when I try to make things right. I always seem to lose the fight. Can't seem to hold on to my life. So I go on through the pain. That's why I'm leaving here today. Won't make it any other way. Cigarettes & sleep are the only things that keep me from losing my mind maybe in time you'll know that. Without you I am nothing I have always acted blind. I'm never coming home because you left me all alone last night and you never even showed up in the morning. And so I try to find a way to hold it in. I guess you win this time. Good friends are hard to find. [Repeat Chorus]
Just touched down in a strange new land,
A twinkle in my eye,
A compass in my open hand,
I’m here, a pioneer,
I understand, what this all entails
And the hourglass is running out of sand
Check my heading as I depart
Like the beating of a drum
Drum the beating of my hungry heart
I know there’s more to go
So make me stop (stop, stop)
I’ll do the best I can
Now I’m ready to embark
Leaving is the hardest thing
But when you go you’ll be glad you did
Leaving is the hardest thing
But when you go you’ll soar like people on wings
Left right left and I’m on my way
A hustle in my step, a hustle really can convey
I’m outdone
I wanna run to reach a place
The place a need to be
So I really should be keeping up the pace
Leaving is the hardest thing
But when you go you’ll be glad you did
Leaving is the hardest thing
But when you go you’ll soar like people on wings
Surrender
I surrender [x4]
Now or never[x2]
I surrender
Now or never
(Ah Ah Ah Ah)
Leaving is the hardest thing
But when you go you’ll be glad you did
Leaving is the hardest thing
But when you go you’ll soar like people on wings
Leaving is the hardest thing
But when you go you’ll be glad you did
Leaving is the hardest thing
But when you go you’ll soar like people on wings
That cold autumn day when I went away
To Shannon and onto the US of A
I€™ll never forget the look in your eyes
When I hugged you and kissed you and told you goodbye
When I looked at you knowing that I had to go
It€™s a pain that I prayed that you never would know
But you were too young still to understand why
Someone who loved you could bid you goodbye.
chorus: Wherever I wander, wherever I stray
It€™s a piece of me now that forever will stay
It€™s part of me heart that is locked away
And stays with you forever.
It seemed for a moment the moment stood still
If hold it I could by the force of my will
But I turned and I left then and all I could see
Was the sight of you there and you looking at me
What once was a household was long torn apart
Now like the ocean€™s the rift in my heart
And I long for the day when with all of its charms
We€™ll be back together with you in my arms.
We're talking about the future and just thinking about the past
counting how many times I gave you another chance
everything’s gone with the wind blown from your heart
promises and memories like a postcard from the start
Hey I've heard that you wanna leave me
is that true, do you really wanna lose me?
I won't stay one more day
That cold autumn day when I went away
To Shannon and onto the US of A
I'll never forget the look in your eyes
When I hugged you and kissed you and told you goodbye
When I looked at you knowing that I had to go
It's a pain that I prayed that you never would know
But you were too young still to understand why
Someone who loved you could bid you goodbye.
chorus: Wherever I wander, wherever I stray
It's a piece of me now that forever will stay
It's part of me heart that is locked away
And stays with you forever.
It seemed for a moment the moment stood still
If hold it I could by the force of my will
But I turned and I left then and all I could see
Was the sight of you there and you looking at me
What once was a household was long torn apart
Now like the ocean's the rift in my heart
And I long for the day when with all of its charms
You said you'd never leave now your gone away forever.
Leaving me to barely breathe, telling me it's for the better.
I guess I should believe you now, you're walking out the door.
Chorus
There you go leaving me behind.
Let me know should you ever change your mind.
I guess it's good you're gone, I've been hearing all about you.
I thought our love was strong, but the lies you told were stronger.
I guess I should believe it now I want you 'round no more.
Bridge
I'll forget about you, live without you that it seems.
Eaving because of freedom
There's no more room for me
Can't look at these trees
That raised me
Every morning
Leaving because
This house seems too dark
Leaving because
I've got to be a man
I'm going to the jungle
I'm going to this big river
To join my friends
Don't go away
Don't go away
Show me your friends
And I'll show you who you are
Show me your relatives
And I'll tell you where to go
Eh! Do what you want
Eh! Eh! What you need
One only knows his own sorrow
The ones that can make things happen
Sun comes up and life goes on its way
But inside these walls, they are taking yours away
And there in the dawn's calls, drifting out over it all
You are lying in the shadows ?neath the window
And you are leaving
This long day is gonna test your heart again
And though you are just a boy, they will hurt you as a man
And they will come again to see, if they can steal your dignity
And leave you naked and bleeding in the doorway
But you are leaving
And what they just don't really see
Is that you are already free
And I know that you feel, that your time, it is not long
There is maybe just enough, for this one last song
So there in the cold night, you close your eyes and you take to flight
And you are singing in the darkness ?neath the window
And you are leaving
Your words escaped, through the cracks in the wall
Just like birds they flew and they move above it all
So there in the cold night, you close your eyes and you take to flight
And you are hoping through the gaps in the steel
And you are leaving
And what they just don't really see
Is that you are already free
And what they just don't really see
Not quite alone, not quite in company.
Not quite with you, though so unwithout you
I try not to say too much, feeling distanced.
I try not to say too much, the distance destroys what I am.
Just so you know. (just so you know) I just plain stopped trying.
Just so you know. (just so you know) I made up my mind and
Not quite myself, not quite anyone
Not quite in love, yet drowning in your love.
Your love drowns out who I am.
Just so you know, (just so you know)
I just plain stopped trying.
Just so you know, (just so you know)
I made up my mind and I'm leaving you.
I don't feel alive, at all. (I don't feel at all)
Woke up this morning
Everything is wrong
Since my time has come
Now its gone
Maybe I’ll be leaving
I have to go
Everywhere I turn
I cant see through this pain
Soul keeps on living
I want this to change
Maybe I’ll be leaving
I have to go
Maybe I’ve been missing
Everything I know, oh
Looking back
Time will never wait
Harder I try
The more it slips away
Maybe Ill be leaving
I have to go
Baby I'll be missing
Everything I know
Seems a little bit odd when you think about how the way he used to
Certain things that you did when you were with me but not with him or are you?
Looking for a purpose in the time we spend with me you argue
I don't want to be the man you used to have but in a brand new forum
So many times I let this go
But I won't let you do this
You tried to turn me into him
I will not stand for this again
I've held my thoughts inside my head
But now I'm leaving
I was hoping maybe things would change but I guess it's just the way you are
Even if you understood I feel like everything would carry on
See the little thing you're looking for it's not in me and you won't find it
He's the one you really want, it isn't me, you know you can't deny it
So many times I let this go
But I won't let you do this
You tried to turn me into him
I will not stand for this again
I've held my thoughts inside my head
But now I'm leaving
Seem to think you've got it right this time
This is never gonna be alright
I don't think you understand that I will never be the man that you need
Wanted me to be the only one
Couldn't live up to the chosen one
Sick of all the little games you play
And now I think it's time that I leave
So many times I let this go
But I won't let you do this
You tried to turn me into him
I will not stand for this again
I've held my thoughts inside my head
Mr. Optimistic Mr. Big Help go to Hell
Drugged out hippie in a flowery dress you smell
You won't change a thing
You can't change a thing
I think you should leave now
Pick up your savior and strong prayer and get out of here
Party people fun in the sun what's wrong with you?
I wish you would leave now
Good samaritan nature's friend you're no friend to me
Very old man tomorrow's soil thanks for nothing
You won't change a thing
You can't change a thing
Mr. Optimistic Mr. Big Help go to Hell
Drugged out hippie in a flowery dress you smell
You won't change a thing
You can't change a thing
I think you should leave now
Pick up your savior and strong prayer and get out of here
Party people fun in the sun what's wrong with you?
I wish you would leave now
Good samaritan nature's friend you're no friend to me
Very old man tomorrow's soil thanks for nothing
You won't change a thing
You can't change a thing
If I can't reach you, and I can't hate you
And overcome you, but you're not above
If I can't go through, what it takes to be you
Well I'm not above
If I respect you, and I decide to
Live this with you, you say you're above
These things we go through, if they overcome you
Then you're not above
I've been fighting to leave this behind me
And rest assure
I'm not the only one
I've been fighting to leave this behind me
And rest assure
I'm not the only one
But I'm not above you, no I'm not above
If I can't reach you, and I can't be you
Or overcome you, and you're not above
If I can't go through, what it takes to be you
Well I'm not above
I've been fighting to leave this behind me
And rest assure
I'm not the only one
I've been fighting to leave this behind me
And rest assure
I'm not the only one
But I'm not above you, no I'm not above
If I respect you, and I decide to
Live this with you, you say you're above
These things we go through, if they overcome you
Then you're not above
I've been fighting to leave this behind me
And rest assure
I'm not the only one
I used to wake up thinking
This girl is all I got
But lately I've been ok
Without her on my heart
If love is just reaction
To what once was a single spark
Then maybe my regrets water down affection
And now I'm drowning in the dark
What if I was leaving?
And never back again
If I said I was leaving?
Would you believe me then?
I know this may sound selfish
And dear how I know it so
If you could only take me back to last winter
Two lovers in the snow
I'm tossing and turning
This match has been burning
And now it's at it's end
I'm tired of fighting
There's no use in lighting
A match that can't burn again
I used to wake up thinking
This girl is all I got
But lately I've been thinking
I'm leaving her for good
What if I was leaving?
And I never came back in the end
If I said I was leaving
There's a comfort in this darkness
A familiar road
Though I know that you are no good for me
You're a false alibi
You hypnotize and you keep tempting me
To throw away eternity
Time to wake-up and shake-up
'Cause you've kept me right under your spell for too long
Your promise is empty
Go dig your claws in somebody else
'Cause it won't be me
I'm leaving
Leaving this path behind
Don't need your sympathy
I'm leaving
Don't try to change my mind
It's a new day, a new way
Change is never easy enough
But I'm not giving up
See I'm growing and I'm sowing
Seeds of life beyond this shell
I'm going to be free
Breakout from this cell
Leaving, leaving this path behind
Don't need your sympathy
I'm leaving
Don't try to change my mind
I'm leaving this path behind
Shake my faith
You're never gonna break me
Take my strength
You're never gonna make me
Turn my back away from the truth
I won't play your games
I'm nobody's fool
I'm leaving
Leaving this path behind
Don't need your sympathy
I'm leaving
Don't try to change my mind
I'm leaving this path behind
I'm leaving this path behind
I'm leaving this path behind
Now it is time to leave
For the never ending journey again
Back again
I will forget...
I will forget who I am
I will forget all over again...
Now into the dark...
(Our collective truth)
I will leave a piece of All in you
In each of you
When you get lost
Please remember
Remember...
standing on the platform
you are on the last train
i know you're leaving this time
i thoutht we had it all.
you always had your
some things just don't
i had a dream of you
that i'm still with you.
i had a dream of you
but dreams don't come true
i know, i know this is broken
but we can't make
let's give it one last
remember all the good times
don't leave without a fight
stay with me one more night.
i had a dream of you
that i'm still with you
i had a dream of you
but dreams don't come true
together
i can't sing
(Chorus)
Please don't leave me
Without sayin' goodbye
Without sayin' goodbye
You and I cold February night
It's been half an hour
Taking sweet time
Saying our goodbyes
One minute more
The best day of my life
Is all thanks to you
Precious remembrance
Simple rainy days or February
Few scenes from my life
Or moments mean more to me
Than our fine nights
I remember like yesterday
The time of my life
(Chorus 2x)
Lets travel back in time
To 1299
At the stroke of midnight
Holding you tight
Your body and mine
In February
Few scenes from my life
Or moments mean more to me
Than our fine nights
Remember like yesterday
The time of my life
(Chorus 3x)
I said that was a good day a grey day
You should see me when it all turns black
Sometimes I even scare myself with the shadows I cast
And as we lie side by side with the tears rolling down our cheeks
I ask "How can you love someone that just sees the hate in everything?"
I thought you were a fighter
But in the end I guess you lost your faith in me
But I don't blame you for leaving
No I don't blame you for leaving me
You're leaving right now so good luck friends
Keep supporting your daily routine
What day is today?
If it's Saturday you'll pray for a long day
If it's Monday you'll beg a soon coming weekend
And it has no sense that division if you're supposed to be always the same
Little boy naps with the t.v. on
when he wakes up, his momma's gone
"sorry sweet child, just got some milk. i'll never do that again.
now turn around and count to ten."
ready or not
she left me
hey momma, guess what?
you left me
standing at the zoo, her hands on her hips
so i sneak up from behind and give her a kiss
hours of flowers and oceans of wine
took about a minute to leave it all behind
close my eyes
count to 30
nothing in the dark
can hurt me
no one here alone can
desert me
ready or not
we're leaving
no matter what you got
you're leaving
ready or not
he's coming
ready or not
we're leaving
ready or not
he's coming
ready or not
If I could build an ocean
It would be so far and wide
It would sail us through the darkness
And would push us toward this light
But no
They'll make us slip
My house
We're surrounded
If I could build a kingdom
We would wave these banners high
We'd take back this generation
leaving
I cannot stand this feeling
I'm bored of life
is someone there to lead me
to where I'd like
I don't dare to fly
breathing
the same old damned air tonight
seeking the door to another side
day in sight
clouds collide
being the average son of anyone
I'm fleeing
all the time I'm on the run
keep the light
only for a while
I'm freezing
I count the days as they pass by
feeding my narrow mind with lullabies
nothing's right
I'm too scared to fly
days shine brighter
still not wiser
keep on breaking
hell's awaiting
home's on fire
shut your lighter
please don't walk away
sleeping
all these trials seem to waste my time
dreaming the story will end up quite right
starry-eyed
so lost in lies
I'm feeling
that I couldn't go on otherwise
fading in this city of weary minds
nothing's right
