Leaving Lyrics - Singles - Paddy Casey

Sun comes up and life goes on its way 

But inside these walls, they are taking yours away 

And there in the dawn's calls, drifting out over it all 

You are lying in the shadows neath the window 

And you are leaving 

This long day is gonna test your heart again 

And though you are just a boy, they will hurt you as a man 

And they will come again to see, if they can steal your dignity 

And leave you naked and bleeding in the doorway 

But you are leaving 

And what they just don't really see 

Is that you are already free 

And I know that you feel, that your time, it is not long 

There is maybe just enough, for this one last song 

So there in the cold night, you close your eyes and you take to flight 

And you are singing in the darkness neath the window 

And you are leaving 

Your words escaped, through the cracks in the wall 

Just like birds they flew and they move above it all 

So there in the cold night, you close your eyes and you take to flight 

And you are hoping through the gaps in the steel 

And you are leaving 

And what they just don't really see 

Is that you are already free 

And what they just don't really see 

Is that you are already free
