Leaving
Oh, I am leaving here
Oh, I am free
Oh, I am leaving
Nothing behind me
Oh, I am leaving here
And I take my soul
While I am still able
While I am still whole
(Chorus I)
And I leave no footprints
No, I, I leave no scent
Just your memory of me
And what you thought I meant
Oh, I am leaving here
With nothing to regret
Nothing to remember
Nothing to forget
Oh, my leaving here
Is more bitter than sweet
Oh, but sweeter bitterness
I never thought I’d never eat
(Chorus II)
No I won’t go softly talking
No, I won’t go lamely walking
No, I won’t go crazy running
No, I think I’m gonna fly
You never noticed my raven wings
You never noticed all kinds of little things
You never noticed
Because you weren’t listening
That I was crying
When you thought that I was singing
(Chorus I)
Oh, I am leaving here
Leaving alone
I'm grinding all the moss
From this now-rolling stone
I leave you naked
Naked, can't you see?
I've changed my belonging to
My longing to be
(Chorus II)
You never noticed my raven wings
You never noticed all kinds of little things
You never noticed
Because you weren’t listening
That I was crying, crying
When you thought that I
Thought that I was singing
