Leaving the Canyons

I can barely speak
I can hardly talk
I can't lift a thing
Can barely think
Can hardly walk

Was it all a dream
Shooting through the park
Searching for the moon
To hold you in the dark

Cause I can't be there when you need me there
If I'm gone, If I'm gone

I'll always be there if you need to share
But you don't want me there
So I'm gone

Struck out through the woods
Crossing county lines
Over mountain peaks
Deep into the wild
Carving through the roots
Made myself a room
And laid amidst the pines

If I can't be there when you need me there
Then I'm gone, then I'm gone

I'll always be there if you need to share
But you don't want me there
So I'm gone

And in the canyons where I've made my bed
I'll leave a light on
I'll leave a light on

Not fear, but hope, you'll find me there
I leave a light on
I leave a light on

I fear i'll be a better man when i'm gone when I'm gone
And I fear i'll be a better friend when i'm gone when I'm gone
And I fear i'll be a better man when i'm gone when I'm gone

But I'll leave the light on
I'll leave the light on
I'll leave the light on
I'll leave the light on
