Brett Dennen - Song For Leaving

Brett Dennen - Song For Leaving (Studio Version)

Lyrics

Like a southbound train
Here's a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing

Moon with a halo
Like a pearl in a peasant's hand
Religion on the radio
Advertising a promised land

Everything that attaches
Someday falls apart
When the plan collapses
It can break your heart

Like a southbound train
This is a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing
Like a southbound train
Here is a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing

To the airport in the rain
Sadness seeping through
Leaving faith on a jet plane
Hurling through the blue

Love is the tear
That taught me to fall
Whispered in my ear
Soothing me to my soul

Like a southbound train
Here's a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing

Quiet constellations
I don't walk through the night
Silent salutations
Under a southwestern sky

Battlegrounds behind me
Smoke in the trees
Memories to remind me
Puts my soul to ease

Like a southbound train
Here's a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing
Like a southbound train
This is a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing
This is a train
Get on the train
Get on the train...
....

I cried listening to this song a few days ago, thinking about where I am in my life now, and everything I've been through and everything that is still waiting for me, good and bad.

It's my train. And it's amazing.

@cdup10470 what city/ station played this song? i come from a city where if i ever heard brett dennen on ANY of the stations i would probably run my car off the interstate in amazement.

There's been so much time since I found music with this quality, Brett's music comes from his heart, if you listen to it with yours open, it will touch you for sure

[cdup10470]
