As I'm Leaving

David Gray · Lost Songs [2001]

As I'm leaving

A change comes on my eyes

These streets persuading me

To mumble strange goodbyes



And through the water

Through the rain

To the soul of everything

Throw my heart out

On the stones

And I'm almost gone



And there's no meaning

In clothes and coffee cups

Cheap hotel furniture

Where silence never stops



And through the water

Through the rain

To the soul of everything

Throw my heart out

On the stones

And I'm almost gone



Now I'm dreaming

I'm staring at the walls

At cars all frozen now

In late night waterfalls



And through the water

Through the rain

To the soul of everything

I throw my heart out

On the stones

And I'm almost -



- Through the water

Through the rain

To the soul of everything

I wash my heart out

On the stones

And I'm almost gone
