Leavin' Days - Over the Rhine

I don’t like these leavin' days

Might be too late to change my ways

My body leaves, my soul it stays

I don’t like these leavin' days

I can’t fight these leavin' days

Might be too late to change my ways

My body grieves, my soul, it craves

I can’t fight these leavin' days

I’ll take my leave in the morning

Before the light breaks the day

Before the night wakes up a-warning

I’ll drive the deep blues away

If I don’t take these leavin' days

I miss the road and all her ways

She frees my mind, we roll and sway

God I need these leavin' days

To rage against the dying

Roll, baby, roll, rag, mama, rag

Like every bird we fly the same crosswinds

Gravity, lift and drag

So I don’t mind these leavin' days

Might be too late to change my ways

My body breathes the long refrain

I don’t mind these leavin' days

I can’t fight these leavin' days

God I need these leavin' days
