Key: E
Introduction: Bm D
Bm D
I have wept until i've slept into the lap of the lady that I love
Bm D
Though she begged and she cajoled I couldn't tell her what I was thinking of
Bm D
I didn't choose no I was chosen by a life that must be lived in passing through
Bm D
And though she changed so much for me, changing this is the one thing I cannot do
Em A
Darling, I'm leaving,
D A Bm
Distance keeps calling me on,
Em A
Darling, come morning,
D
I'll be gone
Bm D
She is beauty she is graceful in her poise and she is gentle in her care
Bm D
she is the calm within the center of my storm she is her fingers through my hair
Bm D
she has my heart though it is breaking cause it knows that deep inside she still believes
Bm D
That there will ever come a morning when i'm staying, and not gathering to leave
Em A
Darling, I'm leaving,
D A Bm
Distance keeps calling me on,
Em A
Darling, come morning,
D
I'll be gone
Bm D
Baby let's get out of the city, we need to breathe some cleaner air,
Bm D
That creeping feeling's starting like I miss you, but with both of us still here
Bm D
There's a sadness in your smiles now and an edge of desperation in your voice
Bm D
We have all this independance, but it still feels like we never had a choice
Em A
Darling, I'm leaving
