Leave - Alternate Version
Nothing could be bring me closer
Nothing could be bring me near
Where is the road I follow
To leave, leave?
It's under, under, under my feet
The scene spread out there before me
Whether I go and the land touches the sea
There is my trust in what I believe
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave, leave it
Leave it all behind
Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time
Shifting the dream
It's charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
I suffer dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that, and I know it
I know it well, ugly and sweet
A temperament who said believe in his dream
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I set it on there lightly
I sent it off in an airplane
That never left the ground
Lift my hands
My eyes are still, I walk into the sea
Lift myself in different place, just leave it
I've longed for this to take me
I've longed for my release
I've waited for the calling to me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave, leave it
Leave it all behind
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave, leave it
Leave it all behind
Leave it
Leave, leave
Leave
Leave, leave
Leave
Leave, leave
Leave
Nothing could be bring me near
Where is the road I follow
To leave, leave?
It's under, under, under my feet
The scene spread out there before me
Whether I go and the land touches the sea
There is my trust in what I believe
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave, leave it
Leave it all behind
Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time
Shifting the dream
It's charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
I suffer dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that, and I know it
I know it well, ugly and sweet
A temperament who said believe in his dream
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I set it on there lightly
I sent it off in an airplane
That never left the ground
Lift my hands
My eyes are still, I walk into the sea
Lift myself in different place, just leave it
I've longed for this to take me
I've longed for my release
I've waited for the calling to me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave, leave it
Leave it all behind
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave, leave it
Leave it all behind
Leave it
Leave, leave
Leave
Leave, leave
Leave
Leave, leave
Leave
