"Leaving's Not The Only Way To Go" lyrics

Leaving's Not The Only Way To Go

Do the mornings still come early
Are the nights not long enough
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leaving's not the only way to go

Maybe lay and let your feelings
Grow accustomed to the dark
And by morning's light, you just might solve
The problems of the heart
And it all might be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leaving's not the only way to go

People reach new understandings all the time
They take a second look
Maybe change their minds
People reach new understandings everyday
Tell me not to reach babe
And I'll go away

Do the mornings still come early
Are the nights not long enough
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leaving's not the only way to go

People reach new understandings all the time
They take a second look
Maybe change their minds
People reach new understandings everyday
Tell me not to reach babe
And I'll go away

But do the mornings still come early
Are the nights not long enough
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch
Well, it all might be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leaving's not the only way to go
