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