Leavin'

(album: The New Black & White Pt. II - 2015)

When the work is done tomorrow I'll be leaving
I didn't come to stay but just awhile
I'll think a million thoughts and do some grieving
About your lovely eyes and tender smile

You have set a fire within my heart a-glowing
You've truly made a deep mark on my mind
It's a hard and a trying task to think of going
When the one I love I know I'll leave behind

But there's many a hill that needs a crossing
There's many places left to see
But I know there's no folks where I'll be going
And no face that will mean as much to me
There's no face that will mean as much to me

When I walk down that long and lonely highway
In my mind you will be walking there with me
But I know sorrow's only travelling my way
'Cause the road will be one way from you to me

But there's many a hill that needs a crossing
There's many places left to see
But I know there's no folks where I'll be going
And no face that will mean as much to me
There's no face that will mean as much to me

But there's many a hill that needs a crossing
There's many places left to see
But I know there's no folks where I'll be going
And no face that will mean as much to me
There's no face that will mean as much to me
There's no face that will mean as much to me
