leave it all behind

i took a drive along the west bank of the shore

i thought of what you said and then i thought some more

you say your life is all but chiseled out in stone

and all you want is just a taste of the unknown

think it was yesterday i called you on the phone

you say you need a change

i recognized the tone

buy me a ticket please

to anywhere i'll go

i'm not saying what is right or what is wrong

i'm just thinking you've been hanging here too long

so why don't we just up and leave it all behind

maybe a change would ease your mind

for a time

leave it all behind

what i really want to do is see you smile

hear you talk and let me listen for a while

there's too much going on to keep it all inside

you try to whisper but you start to scream and shout

what you need is just a place to let it out

so why don't we just up and leave it all behind

maybe a change would ease your mind

for a time

we will see if there's a place that we can go

someplace that no one else will know how to find

leave it all behind

you try to whisper but you start to scream and shout

what you need is just a place to let it out
