She don't hold and kiss me like she did one time
I think my sweet baby's got leaving on her mind

The longer I know her the more I can tell
My darlings not happy with me
The longer I know that I know her too well
The less love in her eyes I see

The stronger I hold her the farther apart
My darling is growing from me
The danger of my darling breaking my heart
Is fast moving in on me

The deeper I love her the farther away
My darling slips out of my hands
The longer the future the longer I'll stay
Out of my darlings plans
I think my sweet baby's got leaving on her mind
