If you ever see me starin' at birds flyin' to south

And you call my name I don't answer

If you ever catch me searchin' through the closet in the hall

For that old beatup decode covered suitcase

If my walks take me further from the house every day

And at night my mind is a million miles away

Take me in your arms and baby hold me strong

Cause your loving takes the leaving yes your loving takes the leaving out of me

[ ac.guitar ]

When the autumn leaves start fallin' and swirlin' through the streets

And you feel a lonely wind in our room

And you look into my eyes and see the distand pleading wink

Of a dream I was chasing when I met you

Nothing's changed I still love you just as much as before

But if you wake up some night and I'm heading for the door

Take me in your arms...

Yes your loving takes the leaving yes your loving takes the leaving out of me
