I'm Leaving Lyrics - Sandy Denny

It's true I often thought of leaving 

But it's you 

I never stopped believing 

When I was down 

Your arms were open to me 

When the cost of loving was free 

You were much to sure to re-arrange 

My love for you hasn't changed 

But you have. 

Chorus 

I'm leaving 

I'm leaving 

Goodbye 

The ones you tried to keep inside 

Are on the streets 

You tried to hide 

With walls you built 

So strong and tall 

No one thought 

That they could fall 

But the lies you put 

Between the cracks 

To hold us down 

And keep us back 

Have fallen through. 

(chorus) 

You asked 

Will i 

Come back to you 

I just can't see that 

Coming true 

Like sea-birds 

On a high spring tide 

Whose paths can't run 

Side by side 

I couldn't take it 

Anymore 

And like a sea-bird 

On a winter's shore 

I'm leaving. 

(chorus)
