Departure
SxOxU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I¥ll be leaving, far... far away
When you wake up in the morning light
I¥ll be gone from home
When the morning sun shines over me
I¥ll be leaving, far... far away
When you wake up in the morning light
Don¥t know where to go
Don¥t know... but I have to go
Please forgive me for not saying a word
I can hear the wind... it¥s calling me
I can feel the passion deep in me
I remember all the dreams I used to dream
I¥ll be by your side all through your life
Though we promised... so long ago
When the morning star shines in the sky
I¥ll be gone from town
Long long way to go
Don¥t know how long it can be
Looking out the window thinking ¥bout youu
I can hear the wind... it¥s calling me
I can feel the passion deep in me
I remember all the dreams I used to dream
Shining city lights are calling me
I can see a vision in my mind
I¥ll be leaving from my home without a word
I can hear the wind... it¥s calling me
I can feel the passion deep in me
I remember all the dreams I used to dream
Shining city lights are calling me
I can see a vision in my mind
I¥ll be leaving from my home without a word
It¥s calling me... It¥s calling me...
