Leaving Song

(album: The Shade And The Grass - 2021)

Look on down below tonight
Don't you want to say goodbye
Swallow all the foolish pride
Step in the light, step in the light
Step in the light, step in the light

Faded jeans and overcoats
Soon the rain will turn to snow
It's hard to face the world alone
Give it a try, give it a try
Give it a try, give it a try

Days will be long and they won't stop coming
Stay for awhile if you need some loving
I'll be around and it won't cost nothing
Follow me down if you feel like running
Out the clock awhile
Past the life we left behind
Back into my arms

Hollow eyes and shaking hands
Sleeping on the sofa bed
Watering the flowers and plants
Staying alive, staying alive
Staying alive, staying alive

Shed your skin and try to see
Past the hours that turn to weeks
I wish you were here with me
I'm getting by, I'm getting by
I'm getting by, I'm getting by
I'm getting by, I'm getting by
I'm getting by, I'm getting by

Days will be long and they won't stop coming
Stay for awhile if you need some loving
I'll be around and it won't cost nothing
Follow me down if you feel like running
Out the clock awhile
Past the life we left behind
Back into my arms
Back into my arms
Back into my arms
