Leaving Song

Summer came and days grew long

Liliacs bloomed 'round Meulfront Pond

The first place I ever held his hand

Timeless walks and breathless nights

Went rushing past like geese in flight

I was praying it was never gonna end

Then the autumn leaves were blazing

Like the fireworks in July

And for a fleeting moment

That flame was in his eyes

but as quickly as the colours came

they burned out of the sky

Goodbye, Adios

See you later

I've gotta go

I've been holding on too long

This is my leaving song

I'll take one last look around

Pull up roots that I put down

Drive across that Hastings County Line

I'll trade a part of who I was

For a future I'm not certain of

But I'll keep the best of what I leave behind

I'll miss those Sunday mornings

And those Friday football games

And the peace that comes from knowing

This place will never change

that's the reason that I'll miss it

And the reason I can't stay

Goodbye, Adios

See you later

I've gotta go

I've been holding on too long

This is my leaving song

Goodbye, Adios

See you later

I've gotta go

I've been holding on too long

This is my leaving song

This is my leaving song
