|
It's the night before she leaves |
|
She sleeps an unquiet sleep |
|
You reach out to teach her while you still can |
|
You reach out to teach her while you still can |
|
"Departure" fills the air |
|
When your time grows short it's everywhere |
|
In each sad smile |
|
In her restlessness |
|
In the held back tears |
|
In the talking less |
|
Tomorrow you'll return |
|
To where you held her days before |
|
Where she said what you now recall |
|
"Before we know it |
|
I'll be going, I'll be going |
|
Before we know it |
|
You'll be walking away alone, away alone" |
|
No amount of time is |
|
Ever enough when you're dealing with |
|
Long distance love where stations become |
|
Become the best and the worst of places |
|
Tomorrow you'll return |
|
To where you held her days before |
|
Where she said what you now recall |
|
"Before we know it |
|
I'll be going, I'll be going |
|
Before we know it |
|
You'll be walking away alone, away alone" |
