Mary Chapin Carpenter - Leaving Song Lyrics
And you see that you're leavingAnd you that you're goneAnd you see there's no saying goodbyeAll the trees in mourningThe light is late from the sunCasting shadow on shadow down from the skyAnd it's hard not to want to turn aroundAnd it's hard not to want to back on downWe're only as strong as our hearts withinOnly as strongAnd all you know of where the road goesIs some place far and unknownYou would thinkYou would have gotten used to it all by nowBut each day it just gets harderEvery journey aloneNever knowing if you'll make itBack home somehowAnd it's hard not to want to turn aroundAnd it's hard not to want to back on downWe're only as brave as we think we areOnly as braveAnd it's hard not to want to turn it downFor some guaranteed, soul crushingMerry-go-roundIt would have driven youStraight into the groundDriven your downAnd the three greatest gifts of moving onAre forgiveness, hope and the great beyondAfter that perhaps peace can comePeace will comeAnd you see that you're leaving ...And you see that you're gone ...
