Better stop pretending

That this is never ending

It seems the dream is over

And not worthy of mending



Living at a standstill

Pushing rocks uphill

A mountain full of feathers

With no natural skill



Oh my girl please don't give in

Don't listen to your stupid friends

I hear them going off again

So she's leaving



Planting dead flowers

In a cold October

Cemetary blackbird

Flying all over

Where's this going to take me

A mountain full of misery

Careless abandon

All alone and empty



I found love to take me home

But she don't want to live alone

I'm always out on the road

So she's leaving



Oh my girl please don't give in

Don't listen to your stupid friends

I hear them going off again

So she's leaving



Comfort me from all the wrong

Could I whisper you the song

Dry your eyes the whole night long

Take your heart before it's gone



I found love to take me home

But she don't want to live alone

I'm always out on the road

So she's leaving



Oh my girl please don't give in

Don't listen to your stupid friends

I hear them going off again

So she's leaving

So she's leaving

So she's leaving

So she's leaving
