Dusty dreams of yesterday, of women in the snow Always leaving and always gone Reachin' for the sparkle in the yellow afternoon Always leaving and always gone Always leaving and always gone, always gone The image of the girl appears there, clearly upon my mind Always leavin' and always gone Lost among the promises of the days I'll never find Always leaving and always gone Always leaving and always gone, always gone I could hide the pain inside me but what would I win I would lose the right to live and turn the pain to s-i-i-in So I'll find another way, some other words to sing And whether you're stayin' or leavin' baby, I lose everything Here I am, another day, just a wonderin' where I'm at Always leaving and always gone You fall on my memory but I try to get you there Always leaving and always gone Always leaving and always gone, always gone Always leaving, always gone Always leaving, always gone Always leaving, always gone
