Leaving Songtext
von The Prodigals

That cold autumn day when I went away
To Shannon and on to the U.S. of A
I′ll never forget the look in your eyes
When I hugged you and kissed you and bid you goodbye
When I looked at you knowing that I had to go
It's a pain that I prayed that you never would know
But you were too young still to understand why
Someone who loved you could bid you goodbye

Wherever I wander, wherever I stray
There′s a piece of me now that forever will stay
It's a part of me, heart that is locked away
And stays with you forever


It seems for a moment the moment stood still
If hold it I could by the force of my will
But I turned and I left then and all I could see
Was the sight of you there and you looking at me
What once was a household was long torn apart
Now like the oceans the rip in my heart
And I long for the day when with all of its charms
We'll be back together, you here in my arms

Wherever I wander, wherever I stray
There′s a piece of me now that forever will stay
It′s a part of me, heart that is locked away
And stays with you forever
Wherever I wander, wherever I stray
There's a piece of me now that forever will stay
It′s a part of me, heart that is locked away
And stays with you forever
