As I'm Leaving

Robbie Robertson

As I'm leaving

A change comes on my eyes

These streets persuading me

With mumbled strange goodbyes



Through the water

Through the rain

To the soul of everything

Throw my heart out on the stones

And I'm almost gone



There's no meaning

In clothes and coffee cups

Cheap hotel furniture

Where silence never stops



Through the water

Through the rain

To the soul of everything

Throw my memories to the wind

And I'm almost gone



And now I'm dreaming

I'm staring at the walls

Cars are frozen now

In late night waterfalls



Through the water

Through the rain

To the soul of everything

Throw my heart out on the stones

And I'm almost

Through the water

Through the rain

To the soul of everything

Wash my heart out on the stones

And I'm almost gone
