lyrics

I'm going away to leave you
Gonna leave you in despair
I'm going away to the mountains, I want to breathe some mountain air
I'm going away to be by myself, to see what I can find
I'm going away to restore my health and a peaceful state of mind
Its gonna be alright now
Oh honey I'm already gone

I'm going away to leave you
Gonna leave you in disgrace
I've nothing to say to your foolish grin and your pale and foolish face
I'm leaving you with the mess you made of the warmth and the love of a woman like this

and all that stress
I believe I'm the worse for wear for you
I ring my hands and tear my hair
For all you put me through

I don't like it here no more
And I don't like your style
I got more to do with my time
I'm gonna build a garden, and see if I can find my smile

They tell me there's a better place
Somewhere the air is clear
I think I need to find a different space
That's a long long way from here

I don't like it here no more
And I don't like your style
I got better things to do with my time
I'm gonna build a garden, and see if I can find my smile

It's in there somewhere
