Leave You Now
Ten long years I spent in the Sun
Where I broke my back to avoid the gun
But I never cracked, I never gave you up
I just did my time for you
Yeah, I can't leave you now
Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow
(How's that for a compliment, girl?)
(How's that for a compliment?)
When you sleep, don't dream of me
I don't wanna break your heart till I'm breakin' free
When I get out, I'm gonna run with ya
We're gonna make our way to America
Yeah, I can't leave you now
Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow
Ten long years I spent in the Sun
Where I broke my back to avoid the gun
But I never cracked, I never gave you up
I just did my time for you
They can call me public enemy
Brand my skin for treachery
What they long to have, they can't take away from me
My hope is growing by the power of love
The highest wall that they erect is not a prison enough
And like the river that is winding takes its water to sea
The only ending that is fitting is you and me, baby
Yeah, I can't leave you now
Yeah, I got nowhere to go anyhow
When you sleep, don't dream of me
I don't wanna break your heart till I'm breakin' free
When I get out, I'm gonna run with ya
We're gonna make our way to America-ca-ca
