Going Away My Darling Lyrics - Jandek

I'm going away my darling 

I'll send you my address 

A black cat crossed my path 

And I'm nervous at the sound 

Sun will greet me in the morning 

Wind will meet me in the cold 

Cause I'm going away my darling 

Can't take you along with me 

Be myself in the country 

I'll come back as best I can 

And if I make (?) the man I'm thinking 

You'll be the guest at his parade 

Catch a leaf that blooms in April 

Step out of the winter snow 

And if by then you still love me 

The country air is fresh and clean 

And by the time it's time to ride 

Into the city for the stage 

I'll ride on in to bring life 

That I been living all this time 

For those to see 

Who have not heard about the love 

You gave to me 

About the love I wrote about 

Inside myself in a quiet time 

And if by then you come and tell me 

That you must find a truer love 

For yourself and that's for certain 

A truer love I hope you find 

I took the light shines from your forehead 

I took the darkness of your breast 

I give them to the lonely world 

I give to you 

You gave to me
