It's pretty cold for late September And autumn wind is creeping in The summer Sun packed up it's long gone There's a whole lot of leaving going on Yeah I bet it's warm in California I think it's time to hit the road I just might call that plain of gypsies Whose searching for our pot of gold Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on I close my eyes And picture your hand in mine I still hear your voice That takes me back to that time Where I can find a reason to be strong Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on Close the window, draw the curtains You ain't the only one here hurt No one's right, no one's wrong Lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on I close my eyes And picture your hand in mine I still hear your voice That takes me back to that time Where I can find a reason to be strong Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on Hey! You used to live to say you love me Now you got one foot of the door It's then you turn around and ask me Do we got it anymore? I close my eyes And picture your hand in mine I still hear your voice That takes me back to that time Where I need a reason to be strong I close my eyes And picture your hand in mine Yeah, I hold the line You'll never hear me say goodbye So pretty baby, please, be strong Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on I'll come back for you, baby Oh, oh Oh, oh
