Don't Leave Your Life Too Long - Kim Churchill

I was walking one day through the big lights wondering when the world became so

tired.

Bottles of vodka flashed as the Coca-Cola sign shone like moonlight and I

wondered

when the world beame so wired.

Even the clearing of the streets,

it was all tiled and in the corner stood a tree in a cage.

And in the screen

on the side of a skyscrpaer stood a war child nestled in amongts the stocks,

the shares and the sports scores of the day.

I thought, don’t leave your life too long,

it’s gone before it’s done if you hide away.

I was travelling one day to find a small town, for I’d hear that it was far

enough away.

Arrived late in the night and there was no sound.

I looked forward to the

breaking of the day.

With the sunrise I headed for the ocean, for its where I find the cleanest air

to brewath.

Every road down a factory had stolen and the smoke it billowed out and blocked

the sea.

I thought, don’t leave your life too long,

it’s gone before its done if you hide away.

I thought, don’t leave your life too long,

it’s gone before its done if you hide away.

I was travelling one day down in Mexico,

in towns where peoiploe purely work to eat.

There’s a shine in the eyes of those that let go,

and that shine was like a song that sang to me.

It said, don’t leave your life too long,

it’s gone before its done if you hide away.

I thought, don’t leave your life too long,

it’s gone before its done if you hide away.
