Leaving the Land

Leaving the Land - Mary Black (玛丽·布莱克)

Written by：Eric Bogle

It's time to go Jenny

No need to close the door

What if the dust gets in house

It doesn't matter any more

You and the dust to been at war

For far too many years

Now the war is over Jenny dear

Leaving the land

Leaving the land

Leaving all I've ever been

And everything I am

Leaving the land

Remember when I brought you here

Those long bright years ago

For all that time you've been my heart

And this land has been my soul

The long bright days are over now

But still the heart beats on

But Jenny dear the soul is gone

Leaving the land

Leaving the land

Leaving all I've ever been

And everything I am

Leaving the land

I't time to go Jenny

Drive quickly down the track

We'll never see what lies ahead

If we keep on looking back

Behind is just an empty house

Old memories and ghosts

And our small dreams gathering dust

Leaving the land

Leaving the land

Leaving all I've ever been

And everything I am

Leaving the land

Leaving the land
