Leavin's Not The Only Way To Go


Do the mornin¡¯s still come early
Are the nights not long enough
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin¡¯s not the only way to go

Maybe lay and let your feelings grow accustomed to the dark
And by morning¡¯s light, you might solve the problems of the heart
And it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin¡¯s not the only way to go

People reach new understandings all the time
They take a second look, maybe change their minds
People reach new understandings everyday
Tell me not to reach and I¡¯ll go away

Do the mornin¡¯s still come early
Are the nights not long enough
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin¡¯s not the only way to go
