Rita MacNeil - Knowing When To Go lyrics

The last time I saw you You were standing by the tracks Holding on to a vinyl suitcase Holding back an easy laugh Oh don't you know Standing on that crowded train Holding up your hands to wave Staring at the silent faces Holding back the falling rain Oh, don't you know Leaving's not always the hardest It's knowing when to go You knew the years would bring the changes And to you, they seemed so aimless Time melted all the seasons The gentle rain, the cool breezes Oh, don't you know Leaving's not always the hardest It's knowing when to go When the alarm sounds in the morning You know you'll have some place to go Plans made on windy days Are not always easy to hold Oh, don't you know Now you'll return here every summer You'll watch the sun dance on the water Pick the apples from the tree And visit friends on bended knee Oh don't you know Leaving's not always the hardest It's knowing when to go Oh don't you know Leaving's not always the hardest It's knowing when to go
