Alwasy Leaving, Always Gone
Dusty dreams of yesterday, of women in the snow
Always leavin' and always gone
Reachin' for the sparkle in the yello' afternoon
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
The image of the girl appears there, clearly upon my mind
Always leavin' and always gone
Lost among the promises of the days I'll never fi-ind
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
I could hide the pain inside me but what would I win
I would lose the right to live and turn the pain to si-i-i-in
So I'll find another way, some other words to sing
And whether you're stayin' or leavin' baby, I lose everythi-ing
Here I am, another day, just a wonderin' where I'm at
Always leavin' and always gone
You fall on my memory but I try to get you there
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
Always leavin', always go-one
Always leavin', always go-one
Always leavin', always go-one

Im Leavin
(taura stinson/ craiyge lindesay)
I come home from work and have a glass of wine
Kick off my shoes and wait on you
Well its way past dawn and your still gone
Where in the world is my boo?
See I was fallin asleep and you were creeping in
I never would have noticed until when
Until I smelt perfume, the kind I do not wear
My babys been messin around again
Chorus:
You shouldnt have done me babe
Now watch what I do to you
Baby Im leavin Im leavin Im leavin
Leavin you
You shouldnt have done me babe
Now watch what I do to you
Baby Im leavin Im leavin Im leavin
Leavin you
How could I be so dumb? I thought I loved a man
But more and more you proved to be a boy
And now I understand
But I cant baby sit no more, its not what I loved you for
Id rather be alone bye-bye cos Im really leavin this time
Chorus
Look at you now begging down on your knees
Thinking Im coming back, oh child please
I said I was leavin I mean whet I say
Theres no turning around Im ieavin today

No I cant baby sit no more, its not what I loved you for
Id rather be alone bye-bye cos Im really leavin this time

Mama stood cryin at the back door
Papas lacin on his leavin shoes
Little joes blowin on the horn outdoors
Ive seen enough, I cant take no more
And Im leavin
Might go to philadelphia, pa
Might wind up in boston, I just cant say
Got my axe in one hand
Got my greyhound ticket in the other hand
And Im leavin
I tell you Im leavin
Gonna play my blues
Yes Im leavin
Got nothing to lose
Well, Im dying to get the hell out of here
Right away
Mama stood cryin at the back door
Papas lacin on his leavin shoes
Little joes blowin on the horn outdoors

Gonna play my guitar

Dont care if Im a big star

Only A Hobo
As I was out walking on a corner one day,
I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay.
His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor
And I guess hed been there for the whole night or more.
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
A blanket of newspaper covered his head,
As the curb was his pillow, the street was his bed.
One look at his face showed the hard road hed come
And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed.
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down,
To look up on the world from a hole in the ground,
To wait for your future like a horse thats gone lame,
To lie in the gutter and die with no name?
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is gone

Wish I Didn't Know Now
I've never ask you where you're goin'
I've never ask you where you've been
I've never called and checked your story
You stayed out with all your freinds
I've never tried to catch you lyin'
I didn't want to know the truth
I'd rather go on lovin' blind girl
Than go on lovin' without you
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' it's you could never be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
I'd still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah I wish somehow I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I've always said what I don't know
Couldn't hurt as bad as leavin' you
Turns out I knew what I was thinkin'
It ain't an easy thing to do
Well I guess I should be goin'
I sure found out too much to stay
Please don't say your sorry
I might wait another day
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' it's you could never be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
I'd still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah I wish somehow I didn't know now what I didn't know then
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hand
I'd still look like a fool in front of your freinds
Yeah I wish somehow I didn't know now what I didn't know then
Yeah I wish somehow I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Feelings
Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when i wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'
I remember those magic nights
Those nights when it
All seemed right
But i knew that by mornin'
You'd be gone
And though you tell me
That it's not for long
It ain't easy here holdin' on
You gotta tell me where i stand
'cause either you don't give a damn
Or you don't even care to pretend
Or you won't spare a thought
Though you know
It must come to an end
You'd better know that
I've made up my mind
I gotta high of a different kind
And it's gonna take me
Where i wanna be
Sure i'll miss ya but i gotta choose
You can't believe that
I came here to lose
And you ain't a winner
That's easy to see
So i'll see you around or i'll write
And i'll send you some love
'cause where i wanna go
There ain't nothing to do but move

Leaving
(fiett/fletcher)
Nothing is moving, all the world is still
No birds are singing and they never will
Cause youre leaving
No doors are open, the sun doesnt smile
Theres no sign of laughter, it rains all the while
And Im grieving
Cause youre leavin, leavin
Food doesnt tempt me
No coffee or cakes, everythings empty
My hearts full of aches, nothing can please me
Why are you leaving?
Oh, no silver linings, no fluffy white clouds
I keep on walking, Im lost in a crowd
Cause youre leaving
Nothing gives me pleasure, nothing gives me pain
Im all over numb and I cant explain
Now youre leaving
Cause youre leavin, leavin
So you put me down, you go your way around
Im glad youre doing fine, Ill make out in time
Dont you worry, now youre leaving

Leavin' In The Morning
Music: Barry Manilow
Lyrics: Marty Panzer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to tell you there was trouble on the way
I lost the feelin' that I once had
But when I held you there was nothin' I could say
I couldn't bear to see you hurt so bad
So I'll be leavin' in the morning
Wishin' that I could stay
And tho' I'll miss you every morning it's the only way
So I'll be leavin' in the morning
But how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warning
And now I don't know how to say goodbye
I tried to tell you there was something that I missed
Something I couldn't ever find with you
But I was blinded by your love each time we kissed
Afraid I'd never find a love so true
So I'll be leavin' in the morning
But how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warning
And now I don't know how to say goodbye
I waited too long but now I see
It's no good for you
It's no good for me
You can't see it now
But one day you'll know
I just had to go
So I'll be leavin' in the morning
Wishin' that I could stay
And tho' I'll miss you every morning it's the only way
So I'll be leavin' in the morning
But how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warning
And now I don't know how to say goodbye

A Better Man
What do you say when its over?
I dont know if I should say anything at all
One day were rollin in the clover
Next thing you know we take the fall
Still, I think about the years since I first met you
And the way it might have been without you here
And I dont know if words from me can still upset you
But Ive just gotta make this memory stand clear
I know Im leavin here a better man
For knowin you this way
Things I couldnt do before, now I think I can
And Im leavin here a better man
I guess I always knew I couldnt hold you
But Id never be the one to set you free
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you
You still believe in some old meant-to-be
Repeat chorus
Still, Im leavin here a better man...
Repeat chorus

Didnt Know
Didn't know what you had
Until you lost it
Didn't know what you own
Until you got it
Didn't know of your sins
Until you fought it.
Didn't know what you needed
Until you sought it.
Didn't know your lies
Until someone spoke them
Didn't know of the truth
Until someone wrote them
Didn't remembered your dreams
Until someone awoke them
Didn't know they died
Until someone chocked them.
Didn't know you had guilt
Until you cried
Didn't know you felt sadness
Until you tried to hide
Didn't know you felt shame
Until you lied
Didn't know you believed in GOD
Until you asked him why.
Didn't know you felt sorrow
Until you shed a tear
Didn't know that you were scared
Until I saw your fear
Didn't know that you hated
Until you were near
Didn't know that you were unhappy
Until you looked in a mirror.
Didn't know who you truly were
Until your ways you sewed
Didn't know that you were evil
Until the truth was showed
Didn't know you did this before
Until I saw all of your woe
Didn't know who you really were
Though I wished then I did know.

Boathouse
I would rather be at the boathouse, out of the daily grind
Id sooner be down at the boathouse, what a way to unwind
Now I dont wanna know how it feels to be set back
So Im leavin here on a one-way track
Id rather be in mosquito alley, out of my right hand lane
You should see my mosquiot tally, all that moves is fair game
Now I dont wanna know how it feels not to be loose
So Im leavin here on the first caboose
So Im leavin here on the first caboose
I cant sleep by a gentle ocean, I cant sleep my a water fall
I cant sleep by a lovely river. I cant sleep. I cant sleep
Dee dee dee, dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee
I would rather sleep at the boathouse, what more can I say
Id soon eat down at the boathouse, let it carry me away
Now I dont wanna know how it feels to step aside
So Im leavin here on a wicked ride
Or I could be back at the alehouse, with a flagon or two
A few blocks south of the jailhouse, with a hole in my shoe
Now I dont wanna know how it feels to stop a truck
So Im leavin here and wishin you good luck
Im leavin here and wishin you good luck
I cant sleep by a gentle ocean, I cant sleep my a water fall
I cant sleep by a lovely river. I cant sleep. I cant sleep
Dee dee dee, dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee
Id rather be in mosquito alley, keepin spiders in line
Id sooner be down at the boathouse, what a way to unwind
Now I dont wanna know how it feels not to be loose
So Im leavin here on the first caboose
Im leavin here on the first caboose

One Of Us Must Know
I didn't mean to treat you so bad
You shouldn't take it so personal
I didn't mean to make you so sad
You just happened to be there, that's all
When i saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile
I thought that it was well understood
That you'd be comin' back in a little while
I didn't know that you were sayin' "goodbye" for good
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That i really did try to get close to you
I couldn't see what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldn't see how you could know me
But you said you knew me and i believed you did
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if i was leavin' with you or her
I didn't realize just what i did hear
I didn't realize how young you were
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That i really did try to get close to you
I couldn't see when it started snowin'
Your voice was all that i heard
I couldn't see where we were goin'
But you said you knew an' i took your word
And then you told me later, as i apologized
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
An' i told you, as you clawed out my eyes
That i never really meant to do you any harm
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
You just did what you're supposed to do

And another
I got so many ills and pills
Im about to smother
Hit 39, leavin the top 40 behind
Holdin on to what I got
I tried to tell myself
It doesnt matter
Its just the time of life
Another rung in the ladder
Each morning i
Look in her sky-blue eyes
The downside of life looks better
That old man standin on the corner
He should be proud of those lines on his face
cos either hes been laughin too much
Or feelin too much pain
Here comes another day
And another
I sure am glad
I got you for a lover
Hit 39, leavin the top 40 behind
Holdin on to what I got

He should be proud of those lines on his face

Or feelin too much pain

And another

Only A Hobo

I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay
His face was all covered in the cold sidewalk floor
I guess hed been there for a whole night or more
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leaving nobody to carry it on
Leaving nobody to sing his sad song
Only a hobo, but one more is gone

The step was his pillow
The street was his bed
One look at his face
Showed the hard road hed come
And a fistful of money
Showed the coins that hed bummed

Leavin nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin nobody to carry it on
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Does it take much of a man
To see a whole life go down
To look on the world
From a hole in the ground
Too late for your future
Like a horse thats gone lame
To lie in the gutter
And die with no name

You're My Girl
Well I took you for a walk
up on the forest floor,
'Cause I wanted to share some things.
But it sure looked to me
like you've been there before,
It was such a natural thing.
You're my girl,
(My girl)
And you're showing me now,
Just how grown up you are.
You're my girl,
(My girl)
And I'll be lettin' you go someday.
Please don't tell me that
you're leavin' me just yet,
Cause I know I gotta let you go.
(Let you go)
Please don't tell me that
you're sayin' goodbye.
(Say good bye)
Well I lit a candle
on the Fourth of July,
But it didn't bring you home to me.
You went headin' into summer
on a natural high,
With the world at your feet.
It's your time,
(Your time)
And you're showin' me now,
Just how grown up you are.
It's your time,
(Your time)
And I'll be lettin' you go someday.
Please don't tell me that
you're leavin' me just yet,
Cause I know I gotta let you go.
(Let you go)
Please don't tell me that
you're sayin' goodbye.
(Say goodbye)
We went lookin' for faith
on the forest floor,
And it showed up everywhere,
In the sun and the water
and the falling leaves,
The falling leaves of time.
You're my girl,
(My girl)
And you're showing me now,
Just how grown up you are.
You're my girl,
(My girl)
And I'll be lettin' you go someday.
Please don't tell me that
you're leavin' me quite yet,
Cause I know I gotta let you go.
Please don't tell me that
you're sayin' goodbye.
