Jandek - Going Away My Darling lyrics

rate me

I'm going away my darling

I'll send you my address

A black cat crossed my path

And I'm nervous at the sound

Sun will greet me in the morning

Wind will meet me in the cold

Cause I'm going away my darling

Can't take you along with me

Be myself in the country

I'll come back as best I can

And if I make (?) the man I'm thinking

You'll be the guest at his parade

Catch a leaf that blooms in April

Step out of the winter snow

And if by then you still love me

The country air is fresh and clean

And by the time it's time to ride

Into the city for the stage

I'll ride on in to bring life

That I been living all this time

For those to see

Who have not heard about the love

You gave to me

About the love I wrote about

Inside myself in a quiet time

And if by then you come and tell me

That you must find a truer love

For yourself and that's for certain

A truer love I hope you find

I took the light shines from your forehead

I took the darkness of your breast

I give them to the lonely world

I give to you

You gave to me
