Leaving Songtext
von Paddy Casey

Sun comes up
Life goes on its way
But inside these walls
They are taking yours away
And there in the dawns call
Drifting out over it all
You are lying in the shadows ′neath the window
And you are leaving

This long day
Is gonna test your heart again
And though you are just a boy
They will hurt you as a man
And come again to see
If they can steal your dignity
Leave you naked and bleeding in the doorway
And you are leaving


What they just don't really see
Is that you are already free
And I know that you feel
That your time it is not long
And there is maybe just enough
For this one last song

So there in the cold light
Close your eyes and you take to flight
And you are singing in the darkness ′neath the window
And you are leaving

Words escape
Through the cracks in the walls
And just like birds they flew
And they move above it all
So there in the cold night
Close your eyes and you take to flight
And you are hoping through the gaps in the steel
And you are leaving

What they just don't really see
Is that you are already free
What they just don't really see
Is that you are already free
