WARREN ZEVON - I HAVE TO LEAVE lyrics

rate me

This time I have to leave

It's all too clear

It's plain to see

No use in hang'n 'round

Like a dog that whines and growls (Warren used "cries" instead of growls)

This time I have to leave

Did you hear that I'm attached?

I'm on a dead end path

Can't you see it hurts me so?

But I really got to go

This time I have to leave

I'm gon'na disappear

Stayed too long, I'll shake my tears

You gave your all, we weren't shy

So thanks again, it's been nice

This time I have to leave

It's all to clear

It's plain to see

No use in hanging 'round

They tell me I'm out'ta bounds

This time I have to leave

Well, It looks as though I'll be gone for a while

So try not to get too riled

There'll be another time when we can unwind

But I got to get it on down the line

This time I have to leave

It's all too clear

It's plain to see

No use in hanging 'round

You'll get by somehow

This time I have to leave

But love won't go away

I'm feel'n I got to stay

And go on liv'n a lie

With you I know there's no goodbye

This time I have to leave

It's all too clear

It's plain to see

No use in hanging 'round

After all, anyway, anyhow

This time I have to leave
