LEAVING THE COUNTRY
 
I'm leaving the country
I'm leaving today
Taking the noon train
Down the coast through L.A.
It's not just a weekend
A simple getaway
I'm leaving the country
I'm leaving today

Mexico's fine this time of year
Stars are divine in the south hemisphere
Deserted south pacific
Isle off the charts
There's where I'll find
The pieces of my, my broken heart

I'm leaving the country
I'm leaving today
Jumping the queen's ship 
And I'm off to Calais
Tomorrow is waiting
I shouldn't be late
I'm leaving the country
I'm leaving today

Summer in france outside Paris
An Autumn romance of the Caspian Sea
A greek tragedy, I imagine my part
There's where I'll find
The pieces of my, my broken heart

[violin solo]

I'm leaving the country
I'm leaving today
I'm bound for nowhere
And nowhere I'll stay
It's not a vacation
It's no holiday
I'm leaving the country
I'm leaving today

I'm leaving the country
I'm leaving today
