Leave Behind

Leave behind the dog

Leave behind the God

Believe me when I say

There's a danger comin' our way

It's been lovely travellin' this way

Thanks to the sun, the moon, the night and the day

But the sea can no longer wait

The levy's about to break

There's a child that's been built for today

And it can see only miles away

We'll follow it through the dawn and the day

And it will teach us to forget how to pray

And we'll follow behind in the ground

And the sea will be the only sound

It's been rainin' every day

Does this mean you're gonna stay?

And the feelin' is comin' around

Like we were never meant to walk this ground

And why does love forget every day

And leave me on my knees

At my own grave

It's been lovely travelin' this floor

I hope your love was never too sure

Leave behind the dog

Leave behind the God

Believe me when I say

There's a danger comin' our way
