Lyrics
I'll Leave Mine
You don't need these anymore
Not now, not the picket fence, or shiny floors
You will know for sure when you walk right out that door
You've tasted all the finest of the fine
All the silky food and deep red wine
You want the best in life, you know that this is right
If there's just one thing you do for me, make it this ...
You leave your town,
I'll leave mine
We will find our promise land
You leave your love,
I'll leave mine
Won't you tell me the story
The sunshine and the glory of the day we met
Your wandering eyes, my stellar smile, a secret to be kept
I met you by the stable
Neither one of us was able to turn away
Your touch so light, my beating heart, our passion could not wait
If there's just one thing you do for me, make it this ...
You leave your town,
I'll leave mine
We will find our promise land
You leave your love,
I'll leave mine
Let's not speak of our commitments
I will leave the laundry and the dirty dishes
We'll run in summer air, we'll run til no one knows we're there
Yes I know you have your children, your estate
But this is true love, do you hear what I say?
Nothing will compare to the love child on her way
If there's just one thing you do for me, make it this ...
You leave your town,
I'll leave mine
We will find our promise land
You leave your love,
I'll leave mine
