Leave You Now

(album: The End Is Not The End - 2008)

Ten long years I've spent in the sun where I
Broke my back to avoid the gun, but I
Never cracked and never gave you up
I just did my time for you

Yeah, I can't leave you now
Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow

When you sleep, don't dream of me
I don't wanna break your heart 'til I'm breaking free
When I get out out I'm gonna run with you
We're gonna make our way to America

Yeah, I can't leave you now
Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow

Ten long years I've spent in the sun where I
Broke my back to avoid the gun, but I
Never cracked and never gave you up
I just did my time for you

And they can call me public enemy
Brand my skin for treachery
What they long to have, they can't take away
From me

My hope is growing by the power of love
The highest wall that they erect is not a prison enough
And like the river that is winding takes its water to sea
The only ending that is fitting is you with me, baby

Yeah, I can't leave you now
Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow

When you sleep, don't dream of me
I don't wanna break your heart 'til I'm breaking free
When I get out out I'm gonna run with you
We're gonna make our way to America
