Martha Wainwright - Leave Behind lyrics

Leave behind the dog Leave behind the God Believe me when I say There's a danger comin' our way It's been lovely travellin' this way Thanks to the sun, the moon, the night and the day But the sea can no longer wait The levy's about to break There's a child that's been built for today And it can see only miles away We'll follow it through the dawn and the day And it will teach us to forget how to pray And we'll follow behind in the ground And the sea will be the only sound It's been rainin' every day Does this mean you're gonna stay? And the feelin' is comin' around Like we were never meant to walk this ground And why does love forget every day And leave me on my knees At my own grave It's been lovely travelin' this floor I hope your love was never too sure Leave behind the dog Leave behind the God Believe me when I say There's a danger comin' our way.
