Lyrics

Leaving You Behind

I've travelled here and there
At times not getting anywhere
At times regretting leaving you behind
I've done a bit of this and that
At times not knowing what I'm at
And still regretting leaving you behind

I'll drink this cold, cold beer alone
And hope it gets me through tonight
At times forgetting leaving you behind
Perchance a dream of this or that
Might shine a light on where I'm at
Might tell me why I'm leaving you behind

That's why I ask myself what life's about
Not really knowing where I'm meant to be
There's no-one near enough to say my shout
And you're not here to share this drink with me

Bridge
Yes, I'll drink one more, one more, one more, my shout
The cheapest shout of all, a round of one
I'll have another, several at the price
Then I'll dream of this or that
Blind again to where I'm at
Pretending being lonely is quite nice

Next day I ask myself what life's about
Less sure than before where I should be
Too early in the day to say my shout
And you're not here to share a drink with me

I've tripped and travelled to despair
My wanderings getting me nowhere
Yes tripped and travelled to despair
My wanderings getting me nowhere

So deep regretting leaving you behind
So deep regretting leaving you behind

Still just doing this and that
Without a sense of what I'm at
So deep regretting leaving you behind
So deep regretting leaving you behind
I'm deep regretting
Leaving you
Behind
