Wilkinsons, The

Leaving Song

Wilkinsons, The


Leavin' Song Summer came 
And days grew long 
Lilacs bloomed 'round 
Meulfront pond 
First place I ever held his hand Timeless
walks and breathless nights 
Went rushing past like peace in flight 
I was prayin' it was never gonna end 
Then the autum leaves were blazin' 
Like the fireworks in July 
For a fleeting moment 
That flame was in his eyes 
But as quickly as the colors came
They burned out of the sky Goodbye Adios 
See you later I gotta go I've been holding on too long 
This is my leaving song I'll take one last look around 
Pull up roots that I put down 
Drive across that Hastings County line 
Trade a part of who I was 
For a future I'm not certain of 
But I'll keep the best of what 
I leave behind 
Oh I'll miss those Sunday mornings 
And those Friday football games 
A peace that comes from knowing 
Some places never change 
That's the reason that 
I'll miss it And the reason 
I can't stay Goodbye Adios 
See you later I gotta go 
I've been holding on too long 
This is my leaving song 
This is my leaving song
