She Knows I'm Leaving Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

She knows I'm leaving 

And might not come home 

We may lose pebbles from our family stone 

I'll do my duty 

I won't back down 

But in truth, I'd rather stay around 

Please Lord 

Can we come to our senses 

Lord 

And start mending our fences 

Lord 

And look through much brighter lenses 

Lord 

I'll send more money to ya 

Pray for me Hallelujah 

She knows I'm leaving 

And prays that she 

Can root the branches of our family tree 

My mother wears 

Her worries in her hair 

But these are the thorns that the rose must bear 

Please Lord 

Can we come to our senses 

Lord 

And start mending our fences 

Lord 

And look through much brighter lenses 

Lord 

I'll send more money to ya 

Pray for me Hallelujah 

PS: 

Wait for me baby until I fall
