Mary Black - Leaving The Land lyrics

It's time to go, Jenny

No need to close the door

What if the dust gets in the house

It doesn't matter any more

You and the dust have been at war for far too many years

Now the war is over Jenny dear.

Chorus

Leaving the land

Leaving the land

Leaving all I've ever been and everything I am

Leaving the land.

Remember when I brought you here

Those long bright years ago

For all that time you've been my heart

And this land has been my soul

The long bright days are over now but still the heart beats on

But Jenny dear the soul is gone.

Chorus

I't time to go, Jenny

Drive quickly down the track

We'll never see what lies ahead if we keep on looking back

Behind is just an empty house

Old memories and ghosts

And our small dream gathering dust.

Chorus
