Leaving Babylon I was out of time and out of body on a Saturday night Well my phone kept ringing but my heart had stopped I really didn't want to go Well, I never had nothing I never had much I never had reason, man To tell you that I'd keep in touch And it's a long way back through a sunset city I made my bed, I don't want no pity I never say goodbye, it just ends Well I sold my records and my last guitar On a night so dark I couldn't see the stars Next thing I knew I was leaving Leaving this Babylon And it's a long way back through a sunset city I made my bed, I don't want no pity I never say goodbye, it just ends And it's a mean old world I'm slipping through society Boys and girls of the devil's new economy Looking out for the light up ahead (Sailing on) (Sailing on) People talking 'bout me what I did and could have done Like sand through my fingers or poison in my blood Send my love to my daughters they did nothing wrong Leaving Babylon, I'm sailing on And it's a long way back through a sunset city I made my bed, I don't want no pity I never say goodbye, it just ends And the ashes burn but my soul's delivered From Tompkins Square to a holy river I never say goodbye, it just ends (Sailing on) (Sailing on) (Sailing on) (Sailing on) (Sailing on) (Sailing on) (Sailing on)
