Everybody
It looks to be proceeding not knowing where to stop
Barely awake I get out of bed
I've been thinking quite a lot about what you said
You said I feel like I am stuck so I'm leaving today
I'm taking my things don't you follow me
So you satisfy yourself and lay me back
Back upon the shelf
So you took what you owned and a whole lot more
And I'm eating my breakfast right off the floor
Cause I've got no plates no tables no nothing
I know you're angry but you could have left something
Now I stand alone again but I
Leave
(lyrics and music by James Seals and John Trombatore, 1971)
From the albums DOWN HOME (1970) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974).
Another day, another teardrop. Fallin' from my rooftop.
And even the look upon the city's face, says leave.
Another Summer, another year gone. Another love that didn't last from now on.
My girl told me yesterday, I better leave. Guess I better leave.
Climbed upon a moutain high. And I looked out and saw the valley.
Then I turned and told this old city, goodbye.
I'm leavin'. And I ain't grievin', I'm leavin'. I ain't grievin'.
Don't know where I'm going, don't know how to begin.
All I know is I'm goin'.
Watch a leaf fallin' from a tree.
To see which way the wind was blowin'.
Another day, another teardrop. Fallin' from my rooftop.
And even the look upon the city's face, says leave.
I'm leavin'. I ain't grievin', I'm leavin'. I'm grievin'
