A Legacy

When I leave you

I will leave you

Things that might not help you

Things that might

Problems that I never solved

Dreams to keep you up at night

As I leave you

I will leave you

Things that stick for ever

Things that slide

Mysteries I swallowed whole

Happiness I couldn't share (I will leave you)

Promises I never kept (I will leave you)

Stories that I never told

Principles betrayed or sold

Love I tried to spread too wide (I will leave you)

Muscles you can grow in hate (I will leave you)

Summer darkness

Winter light

Young mans shame and

Old mans pride

When I leave you

I will hate to leave you

That's the heat that grows

With growing old

So never let me leave you

Never let me leave you

Cold
