Something About Leaving

from Strange Summer by Alan Lee Witherspoon

/

lyrics

When all those minds are falling, like the leaves are from the trees
In October's winds they fail and yet they still succeed
Because they always come back, so new and so green
How I wish that we could grow back new every spring

Throw your life into those boxes and head on down the tracks
It's always someone's time to go so don't look back.

There's something about leavin' when you have no choice
We'll never be there again, (how) we lost our voice
And she's somewhere better, you know this in your mind
Still your heart is sayin' you left her behind

Every place we go now, won't be the same
Any place we go now, might feel unsafe
But we'll soon get comfortable and forget we have to change
When the leaves fall from the trees we'll do it all again

Throw your life into those boxes and head on down the tracks
It's always someone's time to go so don't look back.

There's something about leavin' when you have no choice
We'll never be there again, (how) we lost our voice
And she's somewhere better, you know this in your mind
Still your heart is sayin' you left her behind
