The Leaving

Taking time For the wind in the trees, the falling of leaves Leave behind I won't suffer the fools Or their misguided rules I am leaving Running out The sands of the hourglass wasting away Leaving out Those who can't understand The dawn of my day I am leaving Over the fields I'll come running to you Over the sea, my galleon aground Faith in the stars will lead me to prove A soul in the wild Though I'm tethered and bound I am leaving, I am leaving If I return Would you welcome me into A loving embrace Or should I turn And just feel the bitter wind Kissing my face As I'm leaving? Say no more Your words are attaching My feet to a stone Close the door It's a long, lonely highway I'm travelling home I am leaving Over the fields I'll come running to you Over the sea, my galleon aground Faith in the stars will lead me to prove A soul in the wild Though I'm tethered and bound I am leaving, I am leaving I am leaving, yes I'm leaving Leaving today
