Everything Is Leaving Songtext

von Wanda Jackson

(Red Lane)

The sunlight turns the shadows that fall across my window sill
And grow longer and longer as the sun vacates the sky
The wind blown rustling leaves are racing down my driveway
As I visualize you standing on the hill waving goodbye.

'Cause everything's leaving, everything's leaving
Since you've left me it seems that nothing wants to stay around
I think that I should take the hint and get on out of this town
'Cause everything's leaving, everything's leaving.

--- Instrumental ---

My teardrops are running wild and dripping off my shoetops
And disappearing quickly in the rug upon the floor
Old memories apply expanding pressures to my thinking
Memories of love that may be gone for evermore.

'Cause everything's leaving, everything's leaving
Since you've left me it seems that nothing wants to stay around
I think that I should take the hint and get on out of this town
'Cause everything's leaving, everything's leaving...
