lyrics

Over the road, leaves are growing now
Shading my sight from what I know
Out on the road, leaving’s not avow
Where would I be if not with her?

And so
She will be the record of your constancy
[Hear her sighing now]
“Don’t leave me”
You know I’m not a fraud
“Don’t leave me”

Over the road, leaves are languishing
Wishing the sky would open up
Out on the road, leaving seems so near
Barter the time you’ve totaled up

And now
She will be the record of your truancy
[Hear her calling out]
“Don’t leave me”
You know I’m not a lout
“Don’t leave me”

Over the road, leaves are falling down
Paving the way away from her
Out on the road, leaving makes such sense
Where would I be if not with her?

Not with her

And now
She will be the record of your frequency
[Hear her screaming out]
“Don’t leave me”
You know I’m not alone
“Don’t leave me”

Over the road, leaves are absent now
I wish I hadn’t moved along
Out on the road, leaving wasn’t right
What have I to offer now?

And now
She will be the record of your absentcy
[Now you’re showing doubt]
“Don’t leave me”
I know I’m not allowed
“Don’t leave me”
