Leavin' Blues
Leavin' Blues: Embracing Farewell with Love and Longing
Lyrics
Well it's early in the mornin'
Feeling the beginning of the day
Time for me to leave
Expressing the need to depart
It's early in the mornin' mama
Mentioning the early morning to the mother
The road is callin' me
Feeling the call of the road
You know I hate to have to go
Expressing reluctance to leave
I'm right where I want to be
Content with the current situation
I'm gonna miss the way you hold me
Anticipating missing the mother's embrace
So hold me for a while
Requesting a moment of embrace
Gonna miss the way you love me mama
Expecting to miss the mother's love
So come and make me smile
Inviting the mother to bring joy
When I leave this town I'm gonna miss you every mile
Expressing the inevitability of missing the mother during the journey
You know it feels so good
Describing the pleasure of the current moment
Lying here with you
Expressing satisfaction lying together
You know it feels so right mama
Confirming the rightness of the situation with the mother
All the things you do
Appreciating the mother's actions
Give me one more kiss to help me make it through
Seeking one more kiss for strength
Throw your arms around me
Pleading for an embrace to avoid leaving
So I don't have to go
Requesting the mother to hold tightly
Throw your arms around me mama
Repeating the plea for an embrace
Like you've done before
Recalling the love expressed before
You know I love to love you mama
Expressing love for the mother
I love the way you love
Appreciating the way the mother loves
Well it's early in the mornin'
Repeating the early morning departure
Time for me to leave
Reiterating the need to leave
It's early in the mornin' mama
Echoing the earlier mention of the morning and the road
The road is callin' me
Reiterating the call of the road
You know I hate to have to go
Expressing reluctance to depart again
I'm right where I want to be
Reiterating contentment with the current situation
