Leaving The Land

Eric Bogle
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. 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. Leaving the land Leaving the land Leaving all I've ever been and everything I am Leaving the land. 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. Leaving the land Leaving the land Leaving all I've ever been and everything I am Leaving the land.
