lyrics

When I Leave (by Ross Bellenoit)

when I leave, put your hand in my palm
your arm in my sleeve
your voice in my song
your sunlit dress shining golden against the dawn
when I leave for the summer, leave your voice in my song

when I leave, leave your tools in the shed
your tears in your cup
your shape in my bed
your glowing, rusted book of poems yet to be read
when I leave for the winter, leave your shape in my bed

when I leave, leave my lips on your cheek
my struggle with your comfort
my songs with your grief
my little white lies to disguise my belief
when I leave for tomorrow, leave my songs with your grief

when I leave, leave me something to keep
something small enough to bury it deep
cause Lord I have such little time to spare
when I leave, leave me something to keep
when I leave, leave me something to keep

(July, 2010)
