Leaving
Verse 1
In the quiet cool of a Japanese night
With the company of coffee and my bedroom's dim light
I've been trying to recall, with all of my might
People who have left me some time in my life.
Verse 2
My father left when I was so small
That the meaning of death I knew nothing at all
My mother left not long after that but, I knew about death then, I cried about that
My combat friend, who I would protect in a fight
When the fighting began he left me for the dark
My wife who loved money and means
Left me to raise 3 kids in their teens
Chorus
After half of my life and to my big surprise
I went to your restaurant and looked into your eyes
A more perfect face I never had met
And my eyes followed you wherever you went
I could have gone home and forgot what I saw
But I didn't do that, I wanted much more
Verse 3
For more than a year I thought of no one but you
My feeling of love was so very new
I showed you my heart, so much of love there
I forgot about respect, but I didn't care
But then I saw something, here, I don't want to say
But I quickly brought respect back into play
Verse 4
The secret, quiet calls, sent and received
And only you know whose heart they relieved
I fought very hard to keep respect for you then
But my respect for you died, and that was the end
But here in my heart, I will keep my love strong
To let my love for you die would simply be wrong
So I'll smile and I'll wave as I see you each day
But here in my heart, I have love words to say
Chorus
After half of my life and to my big surprise
I walked into your restaurant and looked into your eyes
A more perfect face I never had met
And my eyes followed you wherever you went
I could have gone home and forgot what I saw
But I didn't do that I wanted much more
Verse 5
Now I am old and weak in the head
And when people ask me just when my heart bled
I will tell of my feelings and all about you
That just once in my life what I felt was so new
But like others who left and to die
Just why you were with me, I'll never know why
Verse6
But just like the others, you turned and you left
I waved my goodbyes and silently wept
You were the last, this won't happen again
The next one to leave will be me, at the end.
