Leaving the Land - Mary Black

Its time to go, jenny

No need to close the door

What if the dust gets in the house

It doesnt matter any more

You and the dust have been at war for far too many years

Now the war is over jenny dear.

Leaving the land

Leaving the land

Leaving all Ive ever been and everything I am Leaving the land.

Remember when I brought you here

Those long bright years ago

For all that time youve 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.

It time to go, jenny

Drive quickly down the track

Well never see what lies ahead if we keep on looking back

Behind is just an empty house

Old memories and ghosts

And our small dream gathering dust.
