Leaving the Land - Mary Black
Written by：Eric Bogle
It's time to go Jenny
No need to close the door
What if the dust gets in house
It doesn't matter any more
You and the dust to been at war
For far too many years
Now the war is over Jenny dear
Leaving the land
Leaving the land
Leaving all I've ever been
And everything I am
Leaving the land
Remember when I brought you here
Those long bright years ago
For all that time you've been my heart
And this land has been my soul
The long bright days are over now
But still the heart beats on
But Jenny dear the soul is gone
Leaving the land
Leaving the land
Leaving all I've ever been
And everything I am
Leaving the land
I't time to go Jenny
Drive quickly down the track
We'll never see what lies ahead
If we keep on looking back
Behind is just an empty house
Old memories and ghosts
And our small dreams gathering dust
Leaving the land
Leaving the land
Leaving all I've ever been
And everything I am
Leaving the land
Leaving the land
