Prompt:
[Verse 1] I folded your shirt in half By the kitchen sink The blue cuff still held A little of your ink I left the kettle cold And the sugar in its tin I watched the morning move Without inviting me in [Pre-Chorus] The front step knew my name The hallway kept your trace I stood with both my hands Around a hollow place Then the train let out its cry Like it knew what I’d decide [Chorus] I’m leaving all behind I’m leaving all behind Hold my name in your hands As I cross that line I’m leaving all behind I’m leaving all behind If I look back once Let it be to say goodbye [Verse 2] Your boots by the back door Still scarred with red clay The porch light cracked and swayed Like it wanted me to stay I took the photo stack And the letter you never sent Set them in a book of matches At the edge of the bed [Pre-Chorus] The road had my face on it The dark had other plans I kissed the doorframe once And shook off both my hands Then the train let out its cry Like it knew what I’d decide [Chorus] I’m leaving all behind I’m leaving all behind Hold my name in your hands As I cross that line I’m leaving all behind I’m leaving all behind If I look back once Let it be to say goodbye [Bridge] There’s a field past the river Where the blackbirds turn I’ll plant what’s left of me Where the cold winds burn If your voice finds me there On some far-off night I’ll keep one small ember And call it my life [Final Chorus] I’m leaving all behind I’m leaving all behind Hold my name in your hands As I cross that line I’m leaving all behind I’m leaving all behind If I look back once Let it be to say goodbye I’m leaving all behind I’m leaving all behind And the door behind me Turns into the sky
