A Time When I Won't Leave

Written 1989

Verse 1:
I walk away from my house
I see your face in the window
your hand slowing waving goodbye
why is it I always must go

Refrain:
it's getting harder and harder to leave you
it was easier when I didn't feel
now it seems there's nothing I can do
except to wait for the time to heal
a time for us to be closer
a time when I won't leave

Verse 2:
so much of my time is spent
working where I'm not sure l want to
and I wonder where my time went
weeks turn into years without you

Refrain.

Bridge:
I leave a little piece of my heart when I go
at times when I'm here it's you my love I hardly know

Verse 3:
finally done with work and I call
it's late so there's not much to say
but possibly the saddest of all
is that I don't think of you when I'm away

Refrain.
