To Leave It Behind Lyrics - Bodies & Minds - Great Lake Swimmers

When we were greened and young as shoots 

the world took off beneath our boots 

oh we were picked when we were young 

gentle words and modesty 

when we turned towards the tide 

choirs screamed in their delight 

oh i am ripe and ready now 

my heart is heavy, it's going to fall 

out of my body 

unto love, unto love 

oh my heart is heavy, it's going to fall 

out of my body 

would have died without 

your gardens of eternal life 

that you kept so well, kept so well 

could have lived without 

the fall into the tragedy 

but i'm not adam 

and you're not eve 

they were brave enough to leave 

when they were told leave it behind 

leave it behind 

it behind 

they were brave enough to leave 

when they were told 

leave it behind
