Leaving The Land

Lyrics
It's time to go Jenny No need to close the door What if the dust gets in the house it doesn't matter anymore You and the dust have been at war for far too many years Well now the war is over Jenny dear Leaving the land Leaving the land Leaving all I've ever been and every thing I am Leaving the land Remember when I brought you here Those long bright years ago For all that time you've been my heart but this land has been my soul Thе long bright days are over now though still the hеart beats on But Jenny dear the soul has gone And all I see around me Seems to me of the best For generations loved this land- never thought I’d be the last All that toiling, all that dreaming, birth and death in joy and pain It was all for nothing, all in vain It's time to go Benny Drive quickly down the track We'll never see what lies ahead if we keep on looking back Behind is just an empty house, old memories and ghosts And our small dreams gathering dust Leaving the land Going far away Far away
