Lyrics
Verse
Shadows stretch long
Across the dirt road
Dust in the air
Where no breeze goes
The sky hangs heavy
No stars tonight
Empty fields whisper
In pale moonlight
Chorus
Leaving behind
What I can’t hold
Leaving behind
What’s grown so cold
The echoes fade
The past unwinds
I’m leaving behind
Leaving behind
Verse 2
A suitcase rattles
Broken clasp loose
A torn-up map
No clear excuse
The highway hums
A lonely song
Every mile asks
Where I went wrong
Prechorus
Tires spin like clock hands turning
Heart’s a fire
Always burning
Chorus
Leaving behind
What I can’t hold
Leaving behind
What’s grown so cold
The echoes fade
The past unwinds
I’m leaving behind
Leaving behind
Bridge
The wind don’t care
It just keeps blowing
The river don’t pause
It just keeps flowing
A lonesome train cries
I can’t ignore
What’s gone can’t be
Mine anymore
