Leaving Song

When you see that you're leaving

And you see that you're gone

And you see there's no saying

Goodbye

All the trees are in mourning

The light is late from the sun

Casting shadow on shadow

Now and from the sky

And it's hard not to want to turn around

It's hard not to want to back on down

We're only as strong as our hearts within

Only as strong

And all you know of where the road goes

Is someplace far and unknown

You would think you would have gotten

Used to it all by now

But each day just gets harder

Every journey alone

Never knowing if you'll make it

Back home somehow

And it's hard not to want to turn around

It's hard not to want to back on down

We're only as brave as we think we are

Only as brave

And it's hard not to want to turn it down

For some guaranteed soul-crushing merry-go-round

But it driven you straight into the ground

Driven you down

And the three greatest gifts of moving on

Are forgiveness, hope and the great beyond

After that perhaps peace can come

Peace will come

And you see that you're leaving

And you see that you're gone
