Lyrics

I'm going away my darling
I'll send you my address
A black cat crossed my path
And i'm nervous at the sound
Sun will greet me in the morning
Wind will meet me in the cold
Cause i'm going away my darling
Can't take you along with me
Be myself in the country
I'll come back as best I can
And if I make (?) the man i'm thinking
You'll be the guest at his parade
Catch a leaf that blooms in april
Step out of the winter snow
And if by then you still love me
The country air is fresh and clean
And by the time it's time to ride
Into the city for the stage
I'll ride on in to bring life
That I been living all this time
For those to see
Who have not heard about the love
You gave to me
About the love I wrote about
Inside myself in a quiet time
And if by then you come and tell me
That you must find a truer love
For yourself and that's for certain
A truer love I hope you find
I took the light shines from your forehead
I took the darkness of your breast
I give them to the lonely world
I give to you
You gave to me
