Leaving the Canyons

I can barely speak

I can hardly talk

I can't lift a thing

Can barely think

Can hardly walk

Was it all a dream

Shooting through the park

Searching for the moon

To hold you in the dark

Cause I can't be there when you need me there

If I'm gone, If I'm gone

I'll always be there if you need to share

But you don't want me there

So I'm gone

Struck out through the woods

Crossing county lines

Over mountain peaks

Deep into the wild

Carving through the roots

Made myself a room

And laid amidst the pines

If I can't be there when you need me there

Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

I'll always be there if you need to share

But you don't want me there

So I'm gone

And in the canyons where I've made my bed

I'll leave a light on

I'll leave a light on

Not fear, but hope, you'll find me there

I leave a light on

I leave a light on

I fear i'll be a better man when i'm gone when I'm gone

And I fear i'll be a better friend when i'm gone when I'm gone

And I fear i'll be a better man when i'm gone when I'm gone

But I'll leave the light on

I'll leave the light on

I'll leave the light on

I'll leave the light on
