Lyrics

The sun's breaking through the clouds
My shadow’s growing long
I hoped today would never end
But our time is getting on
Thank you, for the company
But I really have to go

I'm running to a schedule
Lord, I wish it wasn’t so

And I feel like I’m leaving for the last time
Feel like I’m leaving you behind
Feel like I’m leaving for the last time
Feel like I’m leaving, like I’m leaving
The island, well it’s not that far
I can be there in a day
But as the ferry leaves the shore
Feels like another world away

I think of the sailors in days of old
Heading out for parts unknown
When they’d reappear in another year
They never knew who’d be waiting at home
And I feel like I’m leaving for the last time
Feel like I’m leaving you behind
Feel like I’m leaving for the last time

Countless times I’ve walked these shores
The memories don’t' grow old
Warmer nights under city lights
but the winter here blows cold

I'll come see you in the springtime
By then the weather should be better
Funny how we fill our lives
Don't leave room for what really matters

And I feel like I'm leaving for the last time
Feel like I'm leaving you behind
Feel like I'm leaving for the last time
Feel like I'm leaving, like I'm leaving
Feel like I’m leaving
Like I'm leaving
feel like I’m lea ving, like I’m leaving
