When It Comes Time for Leaving Songtext
von Samantha McKaige

When it comes time for leaving
There′ll be no slack in my rope
I'll be keeping my grip, I′ll be holding your hand
Grasping ounces of hope

When it comes time for leaving
Where is the door?
When I'm barefoot and ragged, where are the woods
That act as my floor?

When it comes time for leaving
I'll lead the way
With you in my rearview, I′ll rig the mast
As I sail away


When it comes time for leaving
You know my name
I′ve skipped rocks on your shores, I've dug stones from your sand
And I feel when you ache

When it comes time for leaving
Say what you′ll say
There's a chill in the wind, there′s a bite in the air
But I'll be okay

When you′re on the run
When the tides don't change
When the ocean is vast
When you've broken the glass in your picture frames
When life isn′t fair
When home is a mess
When the rock is turned over
When you wake up feelings that you′ve put to rest

I'll be here, I′ll be okay
I can pull on my branches and keep the rain out of your way
When it comes time for leaving
