Indigo Girls - Leaving Lyrics
Words and music emily saliersJet fuel and traffic linesPulling up to the delta signsDistant shape of my hometownBlack stain where the wheels touch downI pick up the morning newsI pass the man whos never shined my shoesThrough security and to the trainThat will take me to the airplaneCount the miles on the highway(count the miles on the highway)The sum of all my days(the sum of all my days)Theres a postcard theres a call(theres a call)And theres a picture for your bedroom wall(bedroom wall)But do you ever wonder through and throughWhos that person standing next to you(whos that person standing next to you)And after all the nights apartIs there a home for a travelling heartBut if I werent leaving you(if I werent leaving, if I werent leaving you)I dont know what I would do(I would do)But the more I go the less I knowWill the fire still burn on my returnKeep the path lit on the only road I knowHoney all I know to do is goA cup of coffee and my bags are packed(coffee and my bags are packed)The same vow not to look back(same vow not to look back)(if I werent leaving)Familiar emptiness inside(familiar emptiness inside)As the distances grow wide(if I werent leaving)And though I vow to memorize(I vow to memorize)The last look in your loving eyes(the last look in your loving eyes)Its here dusk and there dawnOh its like a curtain getting slowly drawnBut if I werent leaving you(if I werent leaving, if I werent leaving you)I dont know what I would do(I would do)But the more I go the less I knowWill the fire still burn on my returnKeep the path lit on the only road I knowHoney all I know to do is goBut if I werent leaving you(if I werent leaving, if I werent leaving you)I dont know what I would do(I would do)(leaving you)But the more I go it seems the less I know(but the more I go the less I know)Will the fire still burn on my return(will the fire still burn on my return)Keep the path lit on the only road I know(keep the path lit on the only road I know)Honey all I know to do is go
