I’M GOING AWAY…

Standing in the rain of God’s countryside

Seagulls overhead their wings abide

Drenched in the water of a never ending tide

A lone wolf hides forever on the wild side


I’m going away for a long time

I’m going away for a long time

I’m going away for a long time


The last words I said left you terrified

My once beautiful daughters hands are tied

A wedding ceremony held on the mountainside

A rusted gate holds back all of my pride


I’m going away for a long time

I’m going away for a long time

I’m going away for a long time


Your objection left me to homicide

The gunpowder lingers on my hands dried

Under the rain of God’s grace on the justified

Taking a drive along the seaside


I’m going away for a long time

I’m going away for a long time

I’m going away for a long time
