The Leaver

Lyrics

Well, I was born in a little three room house To a woman who sailed alone She cut the cord herself And she said "There's no room for sympathy There ain't room at all So grow up quickly, boy 'cuz I'm no bearing wall." I'm a leaver I don't say it like I'm proud But I'm a leaver I stand with one foot Out the door (I'm a leaver) Ooooo You won't find me in a fancy hall of fame No I'll never sign no autographs Or ever make a name And If passing through is all I ever do I won't say it like I'm proud I'm a leaver, I stand with one foot Out the door Well, I'm a hollow man, but still I found myself With an angel who's baby blues Cried the day I left When she tried asking Can I call your cell I said, "Save your quarters, girl I ain't no wishing well." I'm a leaver I don't say it like I'm proud But I'm a leaver I stand with one foot Out the door (I'm a leaver) Ooooo You won't find me in a fancy hall of fame No I'll never sign no autographs Or ever make a name And If passing through is all I ever do I won't say it like I'm proud I'm a leaver, I stand with one foot Out the door I'm a leaver Or I was until just now But I can't leave her So I turned my ship around And said You won't find me in a fancy hall of fame No I'll never sign no autographs Or ever make a name But if loving you is all I ever do Then I'll say it like I'm proud I can't leave her I'm done with walking out that door I'm no leaver, no more Oh oh Mmmmm (I'm no leaver I'm a leaver I'm no leaver...)
