The Leaving Song

The Leaving Song - Cara Dillon

Hold out your hand love

We'll figure this out

You don't need to leave

And never look back

But take your own time love

But give it a chance

There's life in these fields like there's rhythm in dance

Stay by my side love

And give it a doubt

Your brother has gone

And my time's running out

The dew's on the grass

We finish the glass

The dawn's on it's way now

My son leaves today oh oh

They whisper your name son

Like they've put you to rest

We've kissed you and bless you

We've all done our best

Once I could swear love

I heard the wind sing

It warned of this day

And the cold it would bring

These northern lights shine love

Reflect on the foyle

They lead your way back to your own made of soul

The dew's on the grass

We finish the glass

The dawn's on it's way now

My son leaves today oh

My son leaves today Lord

God help me I pray Lord

God help me I pray oh

Slip out the door love

But don't say goodbye

Just take one last look at these north western skies
