When You Leave

Contributed by lonelyboy on Friday, 12th January 2007 @ 07:44:40 AM in AEST
Topic: SongLyrics

There’s a storm blowing in across the fields
Rattling these old windows and old doors
The air feels heavy coming through the screens
The way it always does before it pours
The rain is coming down tapping out a lullaby
In some sad familiar rhythm on the roof
I can tell you’re leaving me long before you’ve gone
The distance in your eyes provides the proof

So baby when you leave please don’t let me know
Just slip into your clothes there on the floor
Don’t wake me up for another long goodbye
Just turn out the hallway light and lock the door
Oh baby when you leave just let me lying here
And maybe if I try hard to believe
That if I don’t see you go then you won’t be really gone
And I won’t really miss you...
When you leave

Streaks of brilliant gold across a crooked sky
Illuminating pictures on the wall
All our photographs reduced to souvenirs
Whose stories now don’t matter much at all
The thunder’s drumming out the beating of a restless heart
Shades of night are shifting with the dawn
And as storm clouds disappear beyond the distant hills
I know the sun is coming soon and you’ll be gone.

So baby when you leave please let me know
Just slip into your clothes there on the floor
Don’t wake me up for another long goodbye
Just turn out the hallway light and lock the door
Oh baby when you leave just let me lying here
And maybe if I try hard to believe
That if I don’t see you go then you won’t be really gone
And I won’t really miss you...
When you leave

{Bridge}
When you leave don’t turn around
Just let the final curtain fade to black
And you’ll still believe that I’ll be waiting here
And I’ll still believe that you’re coming back.

Repeat Chorus and Fade

A good piece to put to song. A song we've all sang in our hearts when we know our love has changed and wishes to leave. The loves who we haven't accepted have already left us mentally, just waiting for that physical body to follow.Easier not to have to see them go.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
