"The Leaving In Your Eyes" lyrics

"The Leaving In Your Eyes"
(originally by Justin Haigh)

I can hear the highway calling you my friend
I can see the leaving in your eyes
The morn' will dawn and find you gone
The dawn will mourn as you drive on
I can hear the highway calling you

I can hear the railroad calling you my friend
The smoke hangs like your shadow in the sky
The morn' will dawn and find you gone
The dawn will mourn as you roll on
I can hear the railroad calling you

I can hear you leave before you ever say goodbye
I can feel the tears but you won't let me see you cry
As long as there's a road, a rail, an ocean or a sky
I will see the leaving in your eyes

I can hear the ocean calling you my friend
I can taste the salt on your kiss
The morn' will dawn and find you gone
The dawn will mourn as you sail on
I can hear the ocean calling you

I can hear the trail it's calling you my friend
My heart follows like a stubborn cloud of dust
The morn' will dawn and find you gone
The dawn will mourn as you ride on
I can hear the trail calling you

I can hear our father calling you my friend
You hunger for the journey in your heart
The morn' will dawn and find you gone
And I will mourn your silent song
I can our father calling you
I can hear the ocean calling you
And I can hear the highway calling you
