HE'S LEAVING
Written by Lynette Vantreese
From the album "Lynette Vantreese"
1ST VERSE
The sky is the color of New England chowder
The rain beats down like bullets from a gun
Her hands and face are stinging, hair and water streaming
The clouds form a shroud around the sun
CHORUS
He's Leaving
He's Leaving
2ND VERSE
Her lover's eyes of autumn are pale gray and solemn
As he tells her "I don't love you anymore"
Her world whirls in madness until she collapses
Her knees hit the hard wooden floor
CHORUS
He's Leaving
He's Leaving
3RD VERSE
She has not forgotten those bleak days in Boston
But the blackness of her grief is finally worn
Her heart has grown harder, so thick is her armor
That his name's a mere prickle like a thorn
CHORUS
He's Leaving
He's Leaving
CHORUS
He's Leaving
He's Leaving
TAG
He's gone
He's gone
