Lyrics
Going Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sixty miles or six hundred.
The shadow of the pines
Or the sunny station wagon.
We're looking at the map
And we're laughing and we're going.
I hope some other time
I won't care so much about
Being understood as I do now.
I will leave myself and go away.
I would like to follow you away.
Would you let me take care of you?
I would like to sing you a song in the morning.
Walk you to the car when you're going
Where you're going.
And then some other time
I wouldn't care so much about
Being understood as I do now.
I would leave myself and go away.
I would like to follow you away.
Walk you to the car when you're going
Where you're going.
I wouldn't care so much about
Being understood as I do now.
I would leave myself and go away.
I would like to follow you away.
Seeing you I know what is right
And what is true.
Oh I see the way I want to be.
Oh I see the way I want to be.
