The Levellers - Leave This Town lyrics

rate me

Wasting time at nowhere very special

Seems almost a part of it these days

I know every crack along the pavement

I remember what you said in '88

You said: 'It's time to leave this town

The world keeps turning 'round

The only thing that keeps me here is you'

I'm drinking in the same bar where I met you

Without you it wouldn't be the same

We talk for hours and hours 'bout different places

You said that you would see them all some day

You were always so good with words

The tales you told we've heard

The thing you said to me that day

Will never fade in memory

Time is unforgiving

You know that I won't make it without you

No matter just what window you look out of

The view just never ever seems to change

And I swear that we ain't getting any younger

But we'll chase all of our dreams all the same

Just another lonely winter's day...
