Leaving Me Now

It seems true love is so rare
Seems all I've known is deceit
Your laughter fills the air
Once more I'm sensing defeat

And I suppose you're leaving me now
I was so sure now I'm so full of doubt
And I suppose you'll be leaving this place
Just like the smile you wiped from my face
This time

I always gave my best
Your memory serves you so badly
Some people kill for less
Yet Id still die for you gladly oh, so gladly

But I suppose its my turn now
To play a scene that's familiar somehow
I turn the page and you walk away
Not even love could bring you to stay
This time
Walk away, so easy

Once more I'm learning
In the depths of my despair
Your lies confirming
True love is so rare

And I suppose it's my turn now,
There's no more love - only feelings of doubt.
Gone with the hopes your words have erased,
Gone with the smile you wiped from my face.
Love is a ship we all hope to steer,
Through troubled times - cross an ocean of tears.
A midnight sea that swells in your eyes,
Takes just one look to know I'm still mesmerized.'


But I suppose you're leaving me now
I was so sure now I'm so full of doubt
I turn the page and you walk away
Not even love could bring you to stay
This time

Leaving me now
Leaving this place
I watch you walk away with an easy grace

Nathan's voice is gorgeous! :)

They will blow your socks off. We are lucky enough to be seeing them in Times Square.

Flawless live version. Sounds even better than the studio version recorded 25 years ago. Amazing musicians... L42!!!

Stunning, a shame Mark drops the high notes at the start of the song though.

I was lucky to be old enough to understand and be touched by the band. The music and lyrics made them special. I never had a chance to see them live though, lucky all of you that did. Can you believe that they toured with Madonna during the 80's?
