lyrics

The Way That Leaving Goes
Music and Lyrics by Julean Rai (BMI)
All Rights Reserved.

Verse:
Steady as the shadows;
Steady as it gets.
Abandoning the highway
For the sticks.

We haven't passed that barrier;
We haven't crossed that bridge.
It'll be with some other boy
I guess.

Chorus:
Still got a little while
Left to go.
No need to calculate
The distance.
And I'm no alternate
Road.
It's just the way that leaving goes.

Verse:
Steady on the mileage;
Steady on the gas.
Still shot of quiet...
Let it pass.

Chorus:
Let's pull into a station;
We'll make a meal of
What we get.
And have ourselves a time
To forget.
And nobody's waiting...
This was never said.
But it's just the way that
Leaving is...
It's just the way that leaving is.
Yeah, it's just the way that leaving is.
